Know this song? Add your review! Music Comments: "Gently and very legato," quarter = c. 72. Very attractive, flowing setting. Quite possibly comfortable for lyric mezzo. Text Comments: All poor men and humble, All lame men who stumble, Come haste ye, nor feel ye afraid; For Jesus, our treasure, with love past all measure, In lowly poor manger was laid. Though wise men who found him laid rich gifts around him, Yet oxen they gave him their hay: And Jesus in beauty Accepted their duty; Contented in manger he lay. The haste we to show him the priases we owe him; Our service he ne'er can despise: whose love is able to show us that stable Where softly in manger he lies.

This entry contributed by CounterPoint Musical Services around 9/15/99
Know this song? Add your review! Music Comments: marked "Leisurely and somewhat dark," dotted quarter = c. 46, to start. "Gently," quarter = c. 63 at "oh, all seasons beautify the world...". "Freely Tempo I--Dramatic! (ad lib.)" at "Some of whom they drown,...". Back and forth further between these two tempos and moods: Tempo II at "yet We must adore them", Tempo I at "Supposing them gone out...", and finally Tempo II (Gently) at "Oh, mercy on us." Tonal (expanded tonality) implications. Many wide, dramatic leaps in "Some of whom they drown" section contrast well with lyrical pasages of much of the rest of the song. Text Comments: All months, all days, all hours, All sister seconds even, oh all seasons Beautify the world and bless the walkers on it. Some of whom they drown, And some make die of thirst; they burn, they kill us ev'ry minute; yet We must adore them. Supposing them gone out: Time's canfles. Then no joy or darkness either. No bitter, sweet; beginning, end. Oh mercy--oh, mercy on us. mercy on us. This entry contributed by G&K around 9/15/99. The contributor(s) looked over the song. "All Soul's Night"
This entry contributed by Andy Vores around 11/21/98 Know this song? Add your review! Music Comments: Duration 3:00 Marked 'still, icy' - a simple, descending chordal figure repeats (with some variation) between statements of the ghostly unaccompanied vocal line. Text Comments: My love came back to me Under the November tree Shelterless and dim. He put his hand on my shoulder, He did not think me strange or older, Nor I, him.

This entry contributed by Lori Laitman around 10/17/99 Know this song? Add your review! Music Comments: Quarter=100; flowing, very legato. Mixes occasional bitonal dissonances with an otherwise tonal, strong, jubilant setting. Text Comments: Grow old along with me, The best is yet to be. The last of life for which the first was made Our times are in his hand who saith "A whole I planned." Youth shows but half. Trust God, see all nor be afraid..

This entry contributed by Andy Vores around 11/21/98 Know this song? Add your review! Music Comments: Duration 1:20 Some nice opportunities for melodramatic use of chest voice. Piano part is a little awkward. This song needs to convey a lot of pent-up fury. Text Comments: Look at him there in his stovepipe hat, His high-top shoes, and his handsome collar; Only my Daddy could look like that, And I love my Daddy like he loves his Dollar. The screen door bangs, and it sounds so funny - There he is in a shower of gold; His pockets are stuffed with folding money, His lips are blue, and his hands feel cold. He hangs in the hall by his black cravat, The ladies faint, and the children holler: Only my Daddy could look like that, And I love my Daddy like he loves his Dollar.

This entry contributed by G&K around 10/14/98 Know this song? Add your review! Music Comments: "Slow and very loose". Quarter=44. Uses silent resonating notes in the piano and one chord cluster for the frog's splash. Text Comments: About the splash a frog's jump makes into a silent pond.
