that the star cannot make disappear

The holly and the ivy,
when they are both full grown,
of all the trees that are in the wood,
the holly bears the crown.

Good King Wenceslas looked out,
On the feast of Stephen,
When the snow lay round about,
Sweet and crisp and even.

But Christmas time is sad for me,
Cos noone ever notices, the fairy on the Christmas tree!

Advent is one of the wonderful times in the year that there are choir
concerts galore. I could never tire of this wonderful work of Britten's
so I thought it would be nice to see it here in aaa. I hope you all have
a chance to hear it at least once this season.

I almost chose Britten's other work Saint Nicholas, Op. 42 for tenor,
chorus, and orchestra because I love the part about the pickled boys
being rescued by Saint Nicholas. I guess that can be for another
year....
