There were nuts and cloves and berries but the crust it was stuck on with glue. There were caraway seeds in abundance, It would give yer a fine stomach ache 'Twould kill any man twice to be eatin' A slice of Mrs Hooligan's Christmas cake. As I sat in me window last evenin' A letterman came unto me. He'd a nice little neat invitation Sayin' "Won't you come over to tea?" I knew it was Hooligan sent it So I went for our friendship's sake And the first thing he gave me to tackle Was a slice of Mrs. Hooligan's cake.  less

The words are my own and tell of children playing their games in the dusty streets (ie of Bethlehem) unaware that a miracle has happened and asking them to look up to the angels and join their singing. The performance here is by the Composer's Choir conducted by Daniel Shaw.  

From our 2014 Lessons and Carols Candlelight Service. We are joined by guest vocalists Holly Ruth Gale (Assistant Professor of Music, ATU) and Adam Stanley (student, UCA). ~Premiere performance

Los bilbilicos cantan sospiran del amor, Y la pasión me mata muchigua mi dolor. Más presto ven Palomba más presto ven a mí, Más presto tú mi alma que yo me vo morir. The roses bloom in the month of May, But my soul's full of gloom suffering in love. The nightingales sing and are sighing in love, The passion will kill me, multiply my pain. Come faster, oh dove, come faster to me, Come faster, my soul, because I shall die. ...    less
