ISBN 9781491154281. UPC: 680160912780. 6.875 x 10.5 inches. Key: C major. English. Charles A. Coffin (1844-1926).

Be thlehem Carol was the result of a commission in 2000 from the Cathedral Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The request came from the Cathedrals music director, Russell Jackson; he had very much liked the Italian Fable cum Violin Concerto (The Big Sword and the Little Broom) I had written in 1997 for the Lehigh Valley Chamber Orchestra. Russell chose the text by Charles Coffin, a French poet and educator whose hymn verses were often translated into English. My approach toward setting the poem was my usual one; that is, to translate literally the words into music (note the dips into the minor mode for the cave of Bethlehem and the child of poverty.) But most of all, I wanted to capture the sense of joy and peace brought by the arrival of the Christ Child.

Tune in as the Nosy News Network presents, aMayhem in Bethlehem: A 30 Minutes Special Report.a Poignant and entertaining, yet easily staged and rehearsed, this musical is accessible for children's choirs of all sizes. Get to know Noah Lott, Vesta Gates, Freddie Factoid, Lorna Limelight, Randy Looney and more as they investigate the awho, what, when, where and whya of the Christmas story. Though long on imagination and laughs, the heart of this musical is the wonderful, true story of the gospel. In the midst of the mayhem is the matchless message, aTherefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.a (Isa. 7:14) As our skeptical Nosy News reporters get closer to Bethlehem, the mounting evidence for the Messiah gradually convinces them of the authenticity of Christ, as well as their need for the Savior. Surrendering their skepticism, as well as their hearts, they kneel at the manger to worship the newborn King.

Under a starlit sky in Bethlehem, Liam Lawton was struck by the insight that the same moon and stars lit the sky when a tiny child, who was to change the world forever, was born. This inspired him to record a new Christmas album, Bethlehem Sky. Included on this recording are favorite classic carols along with Liam’s new and most treasured songs for the Christmas season. The title track is a gentle ballad that sparkles like the star that heralded Christ’s birth and calls for us all to follow. Bring the glory and peace of the Bethlehem Sky into your heart this Christmas. CONTENTS: See amid the Winter’s Snow • Noel, Noel • The Maiden and the Child • It Came upon a Midnight Clear • The Darkest Midnight • Ave Maria • Bethlehem Sky • Some Children See Him • Ave Maria • A Rose in December • Room in Your Heart • Silent Night. .
