We are sad that we are currently unable to stage live concerts and engage professional musicians to play with us. These musicians, who are largely self-employed, have been especially hard hit by the Covid-19 restrictions. For our next virtual concert in the Spring we hope to employ some and we are seeking donations to help make that happen. In addition, 50% of your donations will be passed directly to Help Musicians Scotland, a charity providing help, support and opportunities to empower musicians at all stages of their lives. If you would like to donate please visit our JustGiving page: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/garletonsingerszoomintoChristmas  less

A Christmas Carol composed by Nathaniel J. S. Barnes using adapted text from a Robert Fuller Murray poem for mixed (SatB) choir with piano or harp accompaniment. This is a prototype using music software with wind and harp settings.

Since first singing the medieval song "All and Some" in the mid 1990s, I fell in Love with the Middle English and Latin lyrics, and one day I got inspired to create my own setting of this poetic gem. NB: choirs interested in obtaining copies of the score can contact The Leading Note at info@leadingnote.com. I would like to acknowledge the a cappella choir that I sing in, The Stairwell Carollers, and our director Pierre Massie, for their musical inspiration these past 25 years. And with deepest appreciation to my brother Adam Rain and my friend Geneviève Lajoie for their invaluable support throughout my composing journey.  less

No spirit can come near? Nor evil beast to harm thee: Sleep, Sweet, devoid of fear Where nothing need alarm thee. The Love which doth not sleep, The eternal Arms surround thee: The Shepherd of the sheep In perfect Love hath found thee. Sleep through the holy night, Kept from snare and sorrow, Until thou wake to light And Love and warmth to-morrow.  less
