Product Description

About the song and the arrangement

This is my solo piano arrangement of Let There Be Peace On Earth, one of the most powerful songs about peace ever written. I arranged it with the intermediate piano player in mind. Although is not particularly jazzy, it includes some jazz harmony and voicings. I think its beautiful melody benefits from clean voicings and an almost classical accompaniment style. Having said that, I included chord symbols so that jazz pianists can do their thing.

I recommend to everyone who wants to learn it to also study the lyrics (who I didn't include with the sheet music, because it is after all a solo piano arrangement. Knowing the words will undoubtedly help with interpreting the music more adequately from an emotional point of view.

About the technical aspects of this arrangement

Although the arrangement sounds simple, it poses several challenges. For example, it has a polyphonic element to it which requires the pianist to use the sustain pedal and make smart fingering choices. For this reason I included my suggestions for both. Please feel free to use your own.

Feel

The arrangement is meant to be played very expressively. I suggest you vary the tempo and dynamics.
Bringing out the melody is also very important.

At last, I hope you will enjoy playing my arrangement and consider including it in your recitals. The call for peace is never a waste.
