Noble, Jr. Recorded live on Friday, December 21, 2012, at All Saints Episcopal Church in fort Lauderdale, Florida. Performed by the Chamber Singers ensemble of the Girl choir of South Florida. Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson, String Bass: Cole Crossgrove. Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabella! Bring a torch, to the cradle run It is Jesus, good folk of the village Christ is born and mother Mary is a-calling. Ah! Ah! beautiful is the Mother! Ah! Ah! beautiful is her son It is wrong while the baby is sleeping, It is wrong, don't be talking so loud. Silence, now as you gather around, Lest a sound should waken Jesus. Hush! Hush! beautiful is the Mother! Hush! Hush! beautiful is her son Softly into the manger, Softly for a moment come! Look and see how charming the baby, Look at him there, His cheeks are rosy! Hush! Hush! see how the Child is sleeping; Hush! Hush! see how he smiles in dreams!  less

Performed by the Concert choir ensemble of the Girl choir of South Florida. Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson, Accompanist: Gayle Giese. Mother, please explain, what is love? Won't you tell me? Does one feel joy, or is it sad? How am I to know what of late befell me? for now my life no more is glad. Oh, tell me, is loving always kind? Suppose a gentle swain is sighing, Should I be denying? Not long since, to me came a shepherd fair Handsome as could be, and promptly he did swear That he loved me well. How could I tell? How could I tell? If he should come and say the same again, What shall I answer then? What shall I answer then? No one in the village compares with his beauty Whatever he may do or say Is so ful...    less
