SKU: LX.15-3865H
(December 1914). Arranged by Douglas E. Wagner. Educational, Holidays & Seasonal, Concert, General. Octavo. 12 pages. Heritage Music Press - Digital #e15/3865H. Published by Heritage Music Press - Digital (LX.15-3865H).Inspired by the ceasefire that occured in December of 1914 during World War I, this piece lives in that moment where for a brief moment, the world was at peace. Eyewitness accounts tell us that carols, such as Franz Gruber’s “Stille Nacht” (“Silent Night”) were sung (which is feautured in this piece), seasonal greetings in several languages rang out across the trenches, and simple gifts of food and memorabilia were exchanged. In that one brief and beautiful moment, the human spirit triumphed. Fighting ceased, and the world was at peace. An optional reading may be read before the performing that communicates this context to your audience.
