About The CD

The CD, "Christmas Songs": is a collection of some of my favorite Christmas Carols that I used to play on the piano as a child.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.  Ideal for playing while you are entertaining during the Christmas season or decorating the tree, unwrapping gifts or just enjoying the sounds of the holidays.

About The Artwork

The artwork for this CD was done by the very talented Chelsey Roman.  She does excellent work and I'm so pleased with how this turned out.  In addition to this cd, Chelsey also created the artwork for my Meditation Music: Healing Angels CD.  To find out more about this artwork, visit Chelsey's page 

About The Songs

1.  Angels From The Realms Of Glory

Words:

Angels, from the realms of glory, Wing Your flight o'er all the earth;  Ye who sang creation's story, Now proclaim Messiah's birth:  Come and worship; Come and worship, Worship Christ, the newborn King.

Shepherds, in the fields abiding, Watching o'er your flocks by night, God with man is now residing, Yonder shines the infant light; Come and worship, Worship Christ, the newborn king.

Sages, leave your contemplations, Brighter visions beam afar; Seek the great Desire of nations, Ye have seen his natal star:  Come and worship, Worship Christ, the newborn king.

Saints before the altar bending, Watching long in hope and fear, Suddenly the Lord, descending, In his temple shall appear:  Come and worship, Worship Christ, the newborn king.

James Montgomery 1816 and Henry Smart 1867

2.  Away In A Manger

Words:

Away in a manger, No crib for his bed, The little Lord Jesus Laid down his sweet head, The stars in the sky Looked down where he lay, The little Lord Jesus, Asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing, the poor baby wakes, but little Lord Jesus, No crying he makes.  I love thee, Lord Jesus, Look down from the sky, And stay by my side Until morning is nigh.

Martin Luther, 1438-1546 and Carl Mueller

3.  The First Noel

Words:

The First Nowell the Angel did say, Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; In Fields where they lay keeping their sheep, On a cold winter's night that was so deep.  Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell Born is the King Of Israel.

They looked up and saw a star, shining in the East, beyond them far, And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night.  Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell Born is the King Of Israel.

And by the light of that same Star, Three wise men came from country far; To seek for a King was their intent, And to follow the Star wherever it went, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell Born is the King Of Israel.

This star drew nigh to the North West, O'er Bethlehemm it took its rest, And there it did both stop and stay, Right over the place where Jesus lay.  Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell Born is the King Of Israel.

The entered in those wise men three, Full reverently upon their knee, And offered there, in his Presence, Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.  Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell Born is the King Of Israel.

5.  Christmas Piano Music:  Christmas Morning  

Waking up to the joy, excitement and anticipation of Christmas morning.  From the stillness of the night into the everyone up - there are presents under the tree.  What did Santa bring?  The joy in children's faces as they let the bells of Christmas ring forth from all over the earth.  Let the piano music fill your hearts with happiness and joy.
