Noble, Jr. Recorded live on Friday, December 21, 2012, at All Saints Episcopal Church in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Performed by the Chamber Singers ensemble of the Girl Choir of South Florida. Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson, String Bass: Cole Crossgrove. Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabella! Bring a torch, to the cradle run It is Jesus, good folk of the village Christ is born and mother Mary is a-calling. Ah! Ah! beautiful is the Mother! Ah! Ah! beautiful is her son It is wrong while the baby is sleeping, It is wrong, don't be talking so loud. Silence, now as you gather around, Lest a sound should waken Jesus. Hush! Hush! beautiful is the Mother! Hush! Hush! beautiful is her son Softly into the manger, Softly for a moment come! Look and see how charming the baby, Look at him there, His cheeks are rosy! Hush! Hush! see how the Child is sleeping; Hush! Hush! see how he smiles in dreams!  less

Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson, Accompanist: Gayle Giese, Oboist: Lisa Gelfand. She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellow'd to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress, Or softly lightens o'er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling-place. And on that cheek, and o'er that brow, So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow, But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!  less

You are the new day You are the new day I will love you more than me and more than yesterday If you can but prove to me you are the new day Send the sun in time for dawn Let the birds all hail the morning Love of life will urge me say you are the new day When I lay me down at night knowing we must pay Thoughts occur that this night might stay yesterday Thoughts that we as humans small could slow worlds and end it all lie around me where they fall before the new day One more day when time is running out for everyone Like a breath I knew would come I reach for the new day Hope is my philosophy Just needs days in which to be Love of life means hope for me borne on a new day You are the new day  less
