It was recorded on 5th December 2010 in the Harvey Nichols Espresso Bar in Leeds' magnificent Victoria Quarter in the first of St Peter's Singers' now-traditional Sunday evening carol performances there. The choir is directed by Dr Simon Lindley, its Music Director since the Singers' formation in June 1977. More information about St Peter's Singers, including details of forthcoming concerts, recitals and liturgical performances, may be found on the choir's website www.stpeters-singers.org.uk and on its Facebook group page 'St Peter's Singers of Leeds'.  less

Esta noche nace el Niño entre la escarcha y el hielo quien pudiera Niño mio vestirte de terciopelo. Alegría, alegría, alegría Alegría, alegría y placer Que esta noche nace un niño En el Portal de Belén. La Virgen está lavando con un poco de jabón. Se le picaron las manos manos de mi corazón.
