Peace Initiative 2024

 Nederlands  Українська

We invite schools, families, choirs, etc., to sing this song during the last day/week before the Christmas holidays and (voluntarily) donate a small contribution to a good (children's) peace cause of their choice.

The verse could be sung by a soloist or a small group.
The chorus can be sung by everyone, accompanied by clapping and movement.

At the end of a Christmas concert, a (adult) choir could invite the grandchildren to join in.
Families across the country can also agree to sing this song on the same day/time (e.g., Christmas).

Below is the sheet music for the song 'Peace'. Click to enlarge.

Listen to the melody here:

The song can be sung on vocals or by an instrument.

For your information, here is the translation of the text:

This Christmas, we have one big wish, not a feast of fine food, but peace for every soul.

Chorus:

Christmas, a feast of peace, everyone is happy, there is no more war, because we bring peace.

This Christmas, we have one big wish, not a feast of fancy clothes, but peace for every soul.

This Christmas, we have one big wish, not a feast of expensive gifts, but peace for every soul.

We would appreciate it if you could send a message to info@lindelaat.nl, so we know who participated.
You can also include a photo that we might post!
