about

The Tunesmiths challenge for this song was to write and record a Christmas song and, having written a few festive tunes over the years, I wanted to come up with something that married the events of around 2000 years ago with the here and now with occasional fleeting references to melodies and lines from those amazing Christmas carols of old.

Opting to keep things simple, I developed a piano part with each verse containing a different variation on the main theme and, if you listen carefully, you might hear hints of "O Come, O Come Emmanuel", "We Three Kings" and "O Little Town Of Bethlehem".

The song was performed at my local church's Watch Night service in 2014 and has been played live on a number of other occasions when the season is right.
