Music and Peace

Abstract

Kenya experienced a traumatic phase of Post Election Violence (PEV) in 2007/8. The looming elections of 2017 were therefore viewed apprehensively by the populace. Under these circumstances, it was, and still is, imperative to spread the message of peace. Music is a universal language that appeals to all people regardless of age, ethnicity, race or religion and people spend a lot of time each day engaging in music. Most importantly music is a practical subject and can be used to carry messages to the people. It is against this background that the author composed a short strophic song in two part harmony using primary chords to carry the message of peace. The author recommends use of selected art songs to spread the message of peace especially in schools and colleges.
