Product Description

This is the first publication of a new Christmas song, set for baritone and piano. 
The words are those of a poem by Leonard Clark (1905 1981), an English poet who was 
raised in The Forest of Dean, in the west of England. 
In 1972 he published a slim little book of Christmas poems, of which Singing in the Streets 
is one, surely one of the most appealing of Christmas poems. It gives its name to the book. 
The poem tells of an older man revisiting the village of his boyhood, and wondering whether, 
somehow, the streets still hold the sound of the carols that he and the other boys and girls 
sang there. It begins: 
I had almost forgotten the singing in the streets,
Snow piled up by the houses, drifting 
Underneath the door into the warm room,  
It is very evocative of that time and of the magic that Christmas always holds for children. 
Drawn from the same book of poems there is available another new Christmas song, called 
The Birth; that one is set in two versions, one for voice and piano and the other for SATB a 
cappella. 
Ian Calvert.
