When the World Was at Peace—Douglas E.
Wagner. Inspired by the spontaneous ceasefire
that occurred on many battle lines on the first
Christmas Eve during World War I, this piece lives in
a moment when the world was at peace. Accounts

and memorabilia were exchanged. In that one brief
moment, the human spirit triumphed and the world
was at peace.

Midwinter are artfully woven throughout.

close your eyes; your song is passing to silent, silver
skies and fading light. For a thousand frosty miles,
icy voices call, and a million frozen stars begin to
fall..." Add the optional violin part (included) to put
the finishing icy touch on your performance.
