I Will Be a Child of Peace | Elaine Hagenberg | Only Boys Aloud Academi 2025 | TTBB

I Will Be a Child of Peace. Traditional Shaker Hymn. Arr. Elaine Hagenberg
Performed by Only Boys Aloud Academi

I Will Be a Child of Peace is an arrangement of the Shaker hymn tune, O Holy Father, which has been attributed to Alonzo Gilman of the Shaker Community in Alfred, Maine in 1851. Shaker music was traditionally sung in unison and without accompaniment, with men on the left and women on the right. This arrangement echoes those voices of the past, with each stanza starting with unison.

A little bit about the Only Boys Aloud (OBA) Academi.
Members of the OBA Academi all audition for their place and we work them incredibly hard during a week's residential stay. They start the week without knowing one note of the music and learn the entire concert repertoire from scratch during their residential. They receive two individual singing lessons, five sessions of music theory, movement and dance sessions.
The boys work incredibly hard and we are always exceedingly proud of what they achieve during their week together. Thank you to all the boys and the amazing team of Aloud staff. Craig Yates. Creative Director. Aloud.
