Here He has peace, and a short while for dreaming
In honour of the day and the season, here's a link to Peter Warlock and Bruce Blunt's carol, "Bethlehem Down," performed by Voces8.
The British composer Phillip Cooke reflects on the piece here: Whenever I hear Bethlehem Down in a carol service it always transports me to somewhere else, not in a religious way, but in some sort of otherworldly way where time stops and there is a moment of real contemplation.
Happy Christmas to all those who celebrate.
