Programme Note
Written for the choir of St Paul’s Juniors School, London (formerly Colet Court) and first performed at their carol service in December 2006, conducted by their Director of Music, Philip Berg. The poem is by lyricist Garth Bardsley and the music is scored for two-part upper voice choir and organ.
Sing, sing, sing
Sing songs of gladness
Sing melodies of joy
Sing praises loudly
Sing alleluia proudly
And welcome
And welcome
And welcome the baby boy
Sing, sing, sing
Let us shout aloud
Let us give thanks this dawn
Let us tell the story
Let us sing of his glory
And celebrate
And celebrate
And celebrate this very morn
This very morn
This very morn
For the Christ child is born!
