This song reminds me of the Church Nativity Play that Kerry produced at
St. Mary’s in Theydon Bois back in 2009. The church had always had a very traditional nativity play up until that time and when Kerry was given the job she wanted to do something new and different. In Kerry’s Nativity we looked at the story from the perspective of the angels looking forward to the big day and how the shepherds and wise men reacted to it.
Kerry wrote a great script, the rehearsals were well run and organised and we used my apple computer and the garage band software to record and edit the music and sounds which when played through the church PA system gave the show an extra dimension.
This song was in the charts at the time having been played on television on a sky tv ad and we used a little bit of it, along with ‘The Arrival Of the Queen Of Sheba’, Pachelbel’s ‘Canon’ and ‘Sheep May Safely Graze’ to enhance the story. Whenever I hear it now it reminds me of Christmas, my daughter Ophelia playing the lead role, Ollie as a shepherd, Stanley as the king in that nativity play and what a wonderful Christmas that was.
Now listen to the song…..
