Which fills The heavens and earth at his amazing birth

From The remotest parts three learned eastern kings
Cease you blessed angels, clamorous noise to make
Though midnight silence favors, shepherds are awake
and you, oh glorious star, that with new splendor brings
From The remotest parts three learned eastern kings
Gloria in excelsis deo...
Christmas is in glory, all torment past
What 'ere betide us now grant us The same at last
Through both Thy joyous angels in strife and hurry fly
With glory and hosanna They cry."

comes originally from my cantata “The Manchester Magnificat”,
based on Audrey Vaughan’s poems about The religious and social history of The city.
The oratorio was first performed in Manchester CaThedral in 1994.
This psalm forms The climax of The whole cantata and provides an expression of optimism after The
tragedies of The previous sections.
In this “extracted” version, The tragic surroundings of The history remain
in The background and The purebubbling joy of The psalm itself shines forth.
Enjoy The complex rhythms and let your hair down!
This performance by Daniel Shaw's Composer's Choir (based in Connecticut)
is a brilliant rendition of The piece and will, I hope,
encourage oTher church choirs and concert choirs to consider including it in Their repertoire.

Gaudete - arranged for three voices
ancient Christmas carol from Piae Cantiones
This is my arrangement for our community choir (Soprano, Alto and Bass),
but transposed down a third here for me to sing.
(The arrangement also has an optional piano part which I did not use for this recording)
