The First Noel - a perfect carol for Christmas Eve!

"The First Noel, the angels did say, was to certain poor shepherds in fields where they lay..." This is one of the most famous Christmas songs of all time, and on that many of us have sung with great joy on Christmas Eve in many a candlelit service. This Christmas carol is absolutely glorious and it was such an honour [and so much fun!] to record, with all the soaring 'angel choirs' parts.... Here's a cute little art version I made for a Youtube short, if you like shorter videos, and here's the full lyric video with beautiful winter landscapes!

 

If you want a good history and theology discussion, look up the original nine verses of this Christmas hymn and you'll see why my songwriter soul simply had to carefully and diligently write new verses for some parts, trying to stay much closer to the timeline and accurate narrative of Jesus' birth as told in the scriptures. Have a blessed and Merry Christmas and thanks for listening and singing along!
