The Path to Peace

"The Path to Peace" composed and arranged by Alex Knox is a very emotive work for Symphonic Wind Band, Bagpipes and optional Vocals. Premiered at the Waterfront Hall in Belfast in May 2000 it was the finale to the Path to Peace Concert. It is dedicated to all who have sacrificed their lives, throughout the world, in the search for peace by peaceful means" A valuable addition to the Concert Band Band/Bagpipe repertoire.

"THE PATH TO PEACE"

It's time, time for peace,
Time for promise not for grief,
Our time has come so let it be,
For we have chosen-the Path to Peace.

As we sing our song of friendship;
Let the world see how we are.
Let them hear our voice of promise;
Let them hear it loud and far.

Can you hear it from a distance?
Can you hear our hopes and prayers?
Then it's time to join our voices,
Join to sing a song we share.

As we sing our song of friendship;
Let the world see how we are.
Let them hear our voice of promise;
Let them hear it loud and far.
