Markiewitz Audioworks Presents: Three Christmas Trees
Lessa for Christmas Carolers
The CHRISTMAS CAROLERS are an a-cappella group of (I would prefer) 4-10 carolers singing the song "While the Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night" outside the residence of our main character in his old age. The carolers are British (identified in the story as in the North of England).

Remember--it must be a-cappella, please sing in an area where you limit any echo; carolers are singing outside the home.
1 While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
all seated on the ground,
an angel of the Lord came down,
and glory shone around.2 "Fear not," said he for mighty dread
had seized their troubled mind
"glad tidings of great joy I bring
to you and all mankind.3 "To you, in David's town, this day
is born of David's line
a Savior, who is Christ the Lord;
and this shall be the sign:4 "The heavenly babe you there shall find
to human view displayed,
all simply wrapped in swaddling clothes
and in a manger laid."5 Thus spoke the angel. Suddenly
appeared a shining throng
of angels praising God, who thus
addressed their joyful song:6 "All glory be to God on high,
and to the earth be peace;
to those on whom his favor rests
goodwill shall never cease."
Thanks for this audition. Nicely done! Did you harmonize with yourself at the end? That was quite creative. Much appreciated.
You're quite welcome, thanks for listening! Yes, I harmonized with myself - always a fun challenge and I'm glad you appreciated it.
