About this arrangement

Choral Choir,Choral (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1380835 Composed by Samantha Jellett. Advent,Christmas,Holiday. 6 pages. Samantha Jellett #965614. Published by Samantha Jellett (A0.1380835). This SATB a capella setting of a beautiful poem by Imtiaz Darker was composed for the BBC Carol Competition 2019.  It is suitable for both professional and amateur/community choirs.  The theme is a universal one of new birth, making it suitable for many occasions as well as Christmas.  The text is as follows:Rise and go on a bitter nightWhen hope lies frozen in the ground,Hushed and hidden out of sightNo living thing for miles around.Even though the tears of the earthHave turned to crystal, rise.Take the road that leads to a birth,An infant calls and the heart replies.See in the eyes a blazing star,A spark of something newly born,Feet already walking on air,Holding a lifeline in the palm.When at last you see the faceAnd feel on your cheek the baby's breath;When you have known the graceOf a beginning, being blessed.Look up at the hungry bowl of the skyAnd empty your pockets to fill it,See where the water is risingAnd lift your hands to still it.Turn to a world that is still unbornAnd raise your voice to sing it,Go to the child who is not your ownAnd open your heart to save it.See in the eyes a blazing star,A spark of something newly born,Feet already walking on air,Holding a lifeline in the palm.
