Peace on Earth
Image 20 of 54
This is the first of several songs that Peggy wrote with Sonny Burke for Walt Disney’s Lady and the Tramp. Heard near the beginning of the film and again in its final moments, “Peace on Earth” serves as a countermelody for the traditional German hymn “Silent Night.” In the film it’s sung by Donald Novis and chorus; Peggy recorded a solo version for Decca Records on December 6, 1954. The song has endured through a choral arrangement that is still performed today.
