Composed by Connie Pwll Walck Tyler. Christmas,Hanukkah,Sacred,Spiritual. Octavo. 7 pages. Connie Tyler #4629455. Published by Connie Tyler (A0.1008086).This choral work for SATB, harp (or piano) and drum sings of five different winter holidays: the Winter Solstice, Hannukah, Christmas, Isra and Mi'raj, (a Muslim holiday that is held according to the Islamic calendar and therefore falls in the winter only on some years) and Kwansaa. I'm sure there are many more holidays and verses could be added for them. It is meant to celebrate both our common ground and our diversity. The recording is generated by computer and the voices are "choral oohs," without words. The words are:
A candle's glow is hard to see in the light. , ,
It is made for the dark, warm womb of a winter night.
Chorus:
Dark winter, nurturing womb of the year,
hold at your center the spark of the future here.
Solstice night the yule log burning bright.
Seeds deep in the earth turn, turn to the light.
Chorus
Small cruse of oil gave eight long days of light,
restoring the temple faithful their former rites.
Chorus
Tiny Babe born from His mother's dark womb,
Under a star shining over the stable room.
Chorus
Gabriel carried the Prophet through the dark night,
to Mecca, Jerusalem, on ‘til Heav'n's gates were in sight.
Chorus
Kawansa, time of preparation and growth,
The new with the old combining the strength of both.
Chorus
