I always like this St. Olaf College, MN Christmas concert eversince PBS first aired it five or six years ago; and this is one beautiful sweet song by John Rutter. https://youtube/watch?v=Ttuj3WhUowA What Sweeter Music (John Rutter) What sweeter music can we bring Than a carol, for to sing The birth of this our heavenly King Awake the voice! Awake the string! Dark and lull night fly hence away And give the honour to this day That sees December turn’d to May That sees December turn’d to May. Why does the chilling winter’s morn Smile like a field beset with corn Or smell like a meadow newly shorn Thus on the sudden come and see. The cause why things thus fragrant be ‘Tis he is born whose quick ‘ning birth Gives life and lustre public mirth To heaven and the under earth. We see him come, and know him ours Who with his sunshine and his show’rs Turns all the patient ground to flow’rs Turns all the patient ground to flow’rs. The darling of the world is come And fit it is we find a room To welcome him To welcome him. The nobler part of all the house here is the heart Which we will give him and bequeath This holy and this ivy wreath To do him honour who’s our King And Lord of all this reveling. What sweeter music can we bring Than a carol for to sing The birth of this our heav’nly King The birth of this our heavenly King. - - - -
