Arranged by Bruce Baker.
The words and music of this prophetic carol were written by Willow Macky. They have since been set for carillon, piano, and SSA choir. This arrangement is planned to meet the needs of the Church choral director, who is often looking for something interesting but reasonably simple for mixed voices (bearing in mind that tenors tend to be very hard to come by nowadays) with a varied (but not difficult) three-stave organ accompaniment. Written at the request of Canadian Dominion Carilloneur, Gordon Slater, in 1986 for the United Nations’ International Year of Peace, it was performed on carillon in the U.S., Holland, Belgium, Canada, Australia and New Zealand in that year. The song has been broadcast through national radio networks in New Zealand by Diane Philson and the Auckland Balkan Folk Orchestra.
