Shepherds arise, be not afraid, with hastry steps prepare, To David's city, sin on earth, With our blest Infant - with our blest Infant there, With our blest Infant there, with our blest Infant there. Sing, sing all earth, sing, sing all earth eternal praises sing To our Redeemer, to our Redeemer and our heavenly King. Laid in a manger viewed a Child, humility Divine, Sweet innocence sounds meek and mild. Grace in his features shine, grace in features shine Grace in his features shine, grace in his features shine. Sing, sing all earth, sing, sing all earth eternal praises sing To our Redeemer, to our Redeemer and our heavenly King. For us the Saviour came on earth, for us his life he gave, TO save us from eternal death And to raise us from - and to raise us from the frave To raise us from the grave and to raise us from the grave. Sing, sing all earth, sing, sing all earth eternal praises sing To our Redeemer, to our Redeemer and our heavenly King. Source: Bob Copper, A Song For Every Season, CopperSongs, 1971 Notes: The version in A Song for Every Season seems to have at least some differences from that in the Jim Copper Song book, if only because of the change in name from 'Shepherds Arouse' to 'Shepherds Arise'. I have written the lower part on a bass clef, although it appears on a treble clef in 'A Song of Every Season' Database entry is here. Edited By dmcg - 28-Jan-2004 05:25:46 PM | ||

The abc for this one has caused us all problems. Having talked with Pip, I think I will make a cut down (in terms of resolution this is just 72dpi) scan of the one I had (and the version Dave would worked from)here There is still one bar with our version where the harmony (at least within the piece) does not make sense to us but Pip and I in our combined effort see no resolution in terms of trying to interpret what is given and making musical sense. At least this way with a graphic, maybe others will be able to make thier own interpretation. Edited By Jon Freeman - 29-Jan-2004 01:20:18 AM | ||

Which bar, Jon? | ||

Looking at my sheet, I have it circled as the second "sing all earth" where the treble is F#,E,D. To us, It doesn't really seem to go with the rest of the harmony but the treble seems to make sense. I think if it was me, I'd just hold an A for that bar on the bass. Jon | ||

I feel I know this lovely carol quite well now! A difficult task for you Dave, blurred ledger lines were printed so close to the bottom line that it was sometimes difficult to distinguish between E, middle C and the A below. | ||
