Star of Wonder… part II

2013’s Christmas Card Carol didn’t get posted until 2014, so it’s fitting that it took me five years to get around to an SSATB and a TTBB.

A Carol to the King

There are many songs with this title or something similar, so I figured I might as well add to the number. 🙂

City of David

Take Time to Be Holy

Text written by William D. Longstaff in the 1800s; and set to an old Irish tune called “Slane.” For solo or SSAATB choir.

City of David

Be Thou My Vision

Old Irish text, translated by Mary Elizabeth Byrne in 1905; versified by Eleanor H. Hull in 1912. For solo or SSAATB choir.

City of David

Away in a Manger (“Slane” melody)

Familiar lyrics (with an extra verse of my own) are set to an old Irish melody called “Slane,” which we traditionally sing using the words to “Be Thou My Vision” or “Take Time to be Holy.” For solo or SSAATB choir.
