I have given this song the sub-title: "A Crazy Choral Etude for Rolled Rs and Perfect 5ths." It is meant, no pun Intended, to be a musical lark, great fun for a choir to sIng, rollIng Rs like crazy, with no holdIng back. NB: One day I woke up to the realization that I had Independently written four choral works, each of which had evoked a different season, and so it seemed natural to group them together Into a choral suite that I have called "The Ottawa Four Seasons Suite." "Let's sIng, it's SprIng!", with its rousIng coda section, works perfectly as the closIng number of this suite. Also of note, In early 2018, I applied to be a participant at one of the Vancouver Chamber Choir's Interplay workshops funded by the SOCAN Foundation and to my delight I was accepted. "Let's sIng, it's SprIng!" was one of the pieces that this amazIng choir sight read for me on the sp...    Ink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less

Away In a manger, no crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head. The stars In the bright sky looked down where he lay, The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. The cattle are lowIng, the baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus, no cryIng he makes. I love thee, Lord Jesus! look down from the sky, And stay by my cradle till mornIng is nigh. Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask thee to stay Close by me forever, and love me I pray. Bless all the dear children In thy tender care, And take us to heaven to live with thee there. *** Soloist: Taja Kolmanič Sound: Grega Žuraj & Damir Ovčar Video production, scenario & directed: Matjaž Feguš Asistent: Tomaž Rihtar Producer: Valerija Dukarić Art. director: Robert Feguš Thanks to Municipality of Podlehnik & St. TrInity Church In Haloze. http://trInityensemble.eu  Ink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less
