I arranged Let There Be Peace On Earth for intermediate-level piano players. Although it is not particularly jazzy, it includes a touch of jazz harmony and jazz voicings. I did not want to make it too jazzy because I think this beautiful melody shines most when combined with less colorful harmony and an almost classical accompaniment style. Having said that, I included chord symbols so that jazz pianists can do their thing if they so desire.
Tip: I recommend that everyone who wants to play this arrangement also study the lyrics (which 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. Of course, most people who want to play the song probably already know the lyrics.
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me
Let there be peace on earth
The peace that was meant to be
With earth as our mother
Family all are we
Let us all walk together
In perfect harmony
Let peace begin with me
Let this be the moment now
With every step I take
Let this be my solemn vow
To take each moment
And live each moment
In peace eternally
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me!
