This instrumental piece (new title suggested by my father) is based on my Christmas choral piece Alleyways (also available on this site).
It is a jaunty melody with countermelodies and tells of children playing their games in the dusty streets (ie of Bethlehem) unaware that a miracle has happened,
asking them to look up to the angels and join their singing.
The words of the original choral version are:
"See the children playing
in the dusty alleyways
all the buildings round them
give no hint of the miracle
which happened in a
tiny stable just close by
Sing Nowell
The time has come
The time is here
For God has come
To visit us
in the form of a baby
called Jesus
See the children playing in the dusty alleyways
They don't know the miracle happened in their very midst
They don't see the angels hovering overhead
They don't hear the angels singing singing praises
They are playing their own games of mirth so carefree.
[Soprano descant] The angels hover unseen
over the stable singing their praises
They are just like everyone engrossed in their own lives
Never looking up to the sky where angels sing
[Soprano descant] Sing Alleluia...
and the children do not hear
oh children you do not hear
and the children do not know
oh children you do not know
the great and mighty wonder
the full and blessèd cure
Jesus is God incarnate
Children hear!
Rise now from the dusty streets and noisy alleyways
Come and see the wonder which is come to you
Leave your games and
join the great celestial choir of angels
Sing Nowell
The time is here
the Word has come
to visit us
in the form of a baby
called Jesus
We were children playing in the dusty alleyways
Now we know the miracle which happened in our very midst
[Soprano descant] the angels hover unseen
over the stable singing their praises
Sing Alleluia...
O Children sing!"
