Tennessee Ernie Ford … but someone else tends to steal the show! (According to what I read that’s his son Brian.)

Trond Bengtson – Lutenist

Arrangement and variations Allan Alexander

A Babe is born, all of a maid,
To bring salvation unto us;
No more are we to sing afraid,
Veni Creator Spiritus.

At Bethlehem, that blessèd place,
The Child of bliss then born He was;
Him aye to serve, God give us grace,
O Lux beata Trinitas.

There came three kings out of the East,
To worship there that King so free;
With gold and myrrh and frankincense,
A solis ortus cardine.

The shepherds heard an angel cry,
A merry song that night sang he,
“Why are ye all so sore aghast?”
Iam lucis orto sidere.

The angel came down with a cry,
A fair and joyful song sang he,
All in the worship of that Child,
Gloria Tibi Domine.

… or at least I’m guessing that’s the case. I’ve not watched it all, so forgive me if there is anything offensive in this! It IS quite bizarre!

Me? I’m done with Nutcracker for the year. I won’t see the music again until 2011!
