An Earthly Blessing (A Christmas Carol)
Description
Written for the singers at Downe House School, Newbury. An Earthly Blessing is a gentle reflection on the miracle of Jesus' arrival at Christmas. The text is a poem written by Will Todd which brings out the personal and individual nature of the Christmas story.
The music flows around the words, gradually building to the phrase ‘Open My Heart'. In the four part section fewer vocal lines may be used if extra parts are not available. The carol can be performed using the piano part or may be embellished using the chord symbols.
