Inspired by my father's translation of Théophile Gautier's poem Noël
The sky is dark, the earth is white, oh bells ring out with joy Jesus is born,
the Virgin quiet shelters her baby boy. Noel Noel Noel bells ring out with joy!
No wraps No festooned curtains spread to shield the child from frost
nothing but flimsy spider webs trail from the beams aloft.
He shivers in that cold stable this Jesus child so dear,
and so to warm him in the cradle, the ass and ox draw near.
The snow hangs down in lacy fringe.
But far above the heavens swell reveal the angel choir that sings to men Noel Noel
The pdf contains score and parts. The sound sample is a performance by the Budapest Scoring Flautists in May 2018.
