The Wexford Carol, "Good People All this Christmas Time" (setting Aaron Shows) | Hauptwerk

I was blessed to spend Christmas with family at home in Ireland this year. "The Wexford Carol," sometimes known by its first verse "Good people all this Christmas time", is of uncertain origins -- but likely was composed in the 15th or 16th century based on its musical and lyrical style. The song achieved a renewed popularity due to the work of William Grattan Flood (1859–1928), who was organist and musical director at St. Aidan's Cathedral in Enniscorthy. He transcribed the carol from a local singer and had it published in The Oxford Book of Carols, putting Enniscorthy into most carol books around the world. This lovely arrangement by ‪@aaronshows‬ is available in his anthology "Sounding Joy" available directly from the publisher, and all good music retailers. https://www.augsburgfortress.org/stor....

Good people all, this Christmas time Consider well and bear in mind What our good God for us has done In sending his beloved son With Mary holy we should pray To God with love this Christmas Day In Bethlehem upon that morn There was a blessed Messiah born Near Bethlehem did shepherds keep Their flocks of lambs and feeding sheep To whom God's angels did appear Which put the shepherds in great fear 'Prepare and go, ' the angels said 'To Bethlehem, be not afraid For there you'll find, this happy morn A princely babe, sweet Jesus born With thankful heart and joyful mind The shepherds went, this babe to find And as God's angel had foretold They did our saviour Christ behold Within a manger he was laid And by his side the virgin maid Attending on the Lord of life Who came on earth to end all strife #hauptwerk #christmas #organmusic
