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

The music was recorded live under The technical support of Faniry Andrianavalonome (RamoRecords) and Seta Ramaroson on January 2020. Sing, Be, Live, See. This Dark stormy hour, The wind, it stirs. The scorched earth Cries out in vain: O war and power, You blind and blur, The torn heart Cries out in pain. But music and singing Have been my refuge, And music and singing Shall be my light. A light of song Shining Strong: Allelulia! Through Darkness, pain, and strife, I'll Sing, Be, Live, See... Peace.  less
