ISBN 9781491154281. UPC: 680160912780. 6.875 x 10.5 inches. Key: C major. English. Charles A. Coffin (1844-1926).

Be thlehem Carol was the result of a commission in 2000 from the Cathedral Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The request came from the Cathedrals music director, Russell Jackson; he had very much liked the Italian Fable cum Violin Concerto (The Big Sword and the Little Broom) I had written in 1997 for the Lehigh Valley Chamber Orchestra. Russell chose the text by Charles Coffin, a French poet and educator whose hymn verses were often translated into English. My approach toward setting the poem was my usual one; that is, to translate literally the words into music (note the dips into the minor mode for the cave of Bethlehem and the child of poverty.) But most of all, I wanted to capture the sense of joy and peace brought by the arrival of the Christ Child.

Under a starlit sky in Bethlehem, Liam Lawton was struck by the insight that the same moon and stars lit the sky when a tiny child, who was to change the world forever, was born. This inspired him to record a new Christmas album, Bethlehem Sky. Included on this recording are favorite classic carols along with Liam’s new and most treasured songs for the Christmas season. The title track is a gentle ballad that sparkles like the star that heralded Christ’s birth and calls for us all to follow. Bring the glory and peace of the Bethlehem Sky into your heart this Christmas. CONTENTS: See amid the Winter’s Snow • Noel, Noel • The Maiden and the Child • It Came upon a Midnight Clear • The Darkest Midnight • Ave Maria • Bethlehem Sky • Some Children See Him • Ave Maria • A Rose in December • Room in Your Heart • Silent Night. .
