Product Description

This is the first publication of a new Christmas song, set for voice and piano.
The words are those of a poem by Leonard Clark (1905 1981). He was an English poet who
was raised in The Forest of Dean, in the west of England.
In 1972 he published a slim little book of Christmas poems, of which The Birth is one.
What I like about this poem is its simplicity and clarity and its narrative development
through the verses. It starts with the poet waking in the pre-dawn. He then realizes that it is
Christmas Day and in the stillness of that time his mind turns to the birth of Jesus, as
traditionally told. Then he steps out of time and space and looks through his bedroom
window to contemplate the mystery of incarnation. And he finishes at the stable, offering
devotion to the newborn Lord.
This song is also available in a version for SATB a cappella.
Drawn from the same book of poems there is available another new Christmas song, called
Singing in the Streets; that one is set for baritone and piano.
