It was written by Abraham ("Abramek") Koplowicz, a Jewish Boy who was exterminated by the Nazis during the Holocaust. Abramek was born in 1930 in Lodz, Poland, and died 1944 in the infamous concentration camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau. He wrote this poem during the time that his family was trapped in the Lodz ghetto. This poem was not found until 1983 when Eliezer ("Lolek") Grynfeld, the poet's half-brother, discovered it among their late father's belongings. Choristers who sing this work will be transported on a magical flight around the world through time and space along with their audiences.  less

Noel Noel Noel bells ring out with joy! No wraps No festooned curtains spread to shield the child from frost nothing but flimsy spider webs trail from the beams aloft. He shivers in that cold stable this Jesus child so dear, and so to warm him in the cradle, the ass and ox draw near. The snow hangs down in lacy fringe. But far above the heavens swell reveal the angel choir that sings to men Noel Noel  less

Savoring their oranges, giving their kisses likes waves exchanging foam. Stretched out on the beach a Boy and a girl. Savoring their limes, giving their kisses like clouds exchanging foam. Stretched out underground a Boy and girl. Saying nothing, never kissing giving silence for silence. Poem by Octavio Paz Translation by Muriel Rukeyser  less
