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

Noble, Jr. Recorded live on Friday, December 21, 2012, at All Saints Episcopal Church in fort Lauderdale, Florida. Performed by the Chamber Singers ensemble of the Girl Choir of South Florida. Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson, String Bass: Cole Crossgrove. Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabella! Bring a torch, to the cradle run It is Jesus, good folk of the village Christ is born and mother Mary is a-calling. Ah! Ah! beautiful is the Mother! Ah! Ah! beautiful is her son It is wrong while the baby is sleeping, It is wrong, don't be talking so loud. Silence, now as you gather around, Lest a sound should waken Jesus. Hush! Hush! beautiful is the Mother! Hush! Hush! beautiful is her son Softly into the manger, Softly for a moment come! Look and see how charming the baby, Look at him there, His cheeks are rosy! Hush! Hush! see how the Child is sleeping; Hush! Hush! see how he smiles in dreams!  less
