Let There Be Peace On Earth

[parzifal40]

Absolutely beautiful.....the music is so inspirational and the young singers are so beautiful.....what a wonderful Christmas message these young people deliver. Simply moving.

[MrRightguard56]

I was in melodies 2009-2011 and it is so boring to be in. By the fourth you're ready to put a bullet in your head.

[iusedtodream]

I have to sing with the rest of my class at my school christmas assembly.

[ardikiller57]

Lol we are singing this in 5th grade

[xBLINDEDHEARTx]

I remember singing this in jr high :)

[BRUC2016]

If ever there was a song that was divinely inspired, this is it. A inspirational masterpiece.

[Helen2514]

I think I just vomited. Great piece. SO EPIC!

[Selenasking]

I sang that in my Grade school chorus in the mid 1960's. A Great song.

[CWMaua12]

What an amazing performance, wow, i love it; thank God for a job well done super!

[gogirlsdr]

im scared for my performance.....

[Loveoldies50]

Did they make a record of this performance, if so, how can I get one?

[Loveoldies50]

My Glee Club and I say this song (and this very version) in 1971. It has always meant a very great deal to me. I still cry when I hear it or sing it. Thank you so much for sharing it with me!

[301250]

Thank you DVanDeusen for this post. A very beautiful and most moving performance from all....but pray, which wonderful choir is this, conductor and orchestra? Do you have any other bits from this show? Once again, thank you, merci, gratias, grazie, danke, xiexie, terima kasih. sd goh (malaysia)

[DVanDeusen]

@301250 "Let There be Peace on Earth" by Jill Jackson and Sy Miller performed/sung by Empire State Youth Orchestra and Chorale conducted by Helen Cha-Pyo at "Melodies of Christmas," Proctor's Theater in Schenectady, New York December 13, 2007. All proceeds went to the Albany (New York) Medical Center's Child Cancer Program.

a song to take to your heart and live by

[amcfan100]

I sang this song at my church after each service

[peaceandtoda]

it touches my heart



[cvcollection]

Thank you Saint Francis for this!!

[xbrittina]

This song is beautiful, and was very well sung by the choir.

[MrData98]

And the congregation said AMEN! That is exactly the way this beautiful anthem is supposed to be sung.  And the orchestra was the perfect icing on the cake.

[XOjordanXOkatrinaXO]

Wow,ur choir is just beautiful:)

[shoelover57]

This is a very beautiful video, Thankyou for sharing....To see everyone sing is a pleasure.100******************­******

[sp0rtsbabey]

lol this is our school song lmao.

[JennaNicole112]

Hahah same here

[edubois1290]

wow, I remember playing in this performance. This was definitely the best we played it, of all the shows.

[bissonnetter]

This is just beautiful. The first time I ever heard Let There Be Peace on Earth was at my aunt's funeral Mass. I later found out it was her and my uncle's "theme song". Every time I hear or sing it, I think of them.

[hotlovebirds]

i do this song in chorus and im a fourth grader

[DGALEX1495]

My choir is singing this @ EPCOT with the disney orchestra

[peachstar812]

beautiful. i had to play it twice, cuz i laughed too hard at the brunette girl in the corner making strange faces starting at 0:21

[Relax298]

LOL She was really "into" it.

[mkp823]

I didn't get "strange faces" at all. She was singing out, not standing there like a zombie with it's mouth moving ;-)

[Michaelbos]

Just Beautiful

[happylmc]

my Grandmother had me sing this song at her 50th annaversery mass. Now I think of her every time I hear it.

[hkamal12]

a true masterpiece

this song shows us as a people of a planet the flaw in our approach to peace

we all want peace for all the souls suffering out there in the world as well as for ourselves and our friends and family

the one thing we dont see is that if we want peace, we must initiate peace ourselves as individuals

if we want a miracle, we have to be that miracle!!!

[sonicriders123456]

me too im playing this song on Monday

[amjns43]

I don't care who sings this song or where I hear it , it brings tears to my eyes. Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.

[Archerista]

Pinatugtog q 2 ngaun pero Magulo pa rin ang buhay namin d2 sa pamilya

Sna magkasundo at wag silang mang-husga

Kasi tlaga Mapaghusga

Sna Peace na ang Lahat!!

[sirdidi]

have you more to see.....?

[DVanDeusen]

Yes, I recorded the 2008 show and will post some selections from it over the next few days. Sadly, they didn't do "Let There Be peace On Earth" this year.

[TheArtsyTuber]

[TheArtsyTuber]

Oh the kids themselves actually choose alot of their own songs

[karatekoop]

[TheArtsyTuber]

[bostonbruinsfever]

[Relax298]

Beautiful performance!

[DVanDeusen]

You'll be performing this somewhere this month, right?

The Empire State Youth Orchestra and Chorale do this concert every year in December. I hope they do "Let There Be Peace On Earth" again this year.

[bassman31793]

we just played the concerts last weekend, and we did not play this song,

although i was wondering if you'll be able to get any more melodies videos up

[DVanDeusen]

The 2008 show is on this evening. I've set up my DVD recorder for the show and IF I did it correctly, I'll post some songs. Cross your fingers!

[ALREADYSICKOFITALL]
