Still, still, still

~ susie

This is a beautiful Austrian carol the choir sang at last year’s Midnight Mass. I can’t believe I never heard of it until now:

Still, still, still, one can hear the falling snow. For all is hushed, the world is sleeping. Holy Star, its vigil keeping. Still, still, still, one can hear the falling snow.
Sleep, sleep, sleep, ’tis the eve of our Savior’s birth. The night is peaceful all around you, close your eyes, let sleep surround you. Sleep, sleep, sleep, ’tis the eve of our Savior’s birth.
Dream, dream, dream, of the joyous day to come. While guardian angels without number watch you as you sweetly slumber. Dream, dream, dream, of the joyous day to come.

One thought on “Still, still, still”

  1. Sung by The Northwest Madraliers of Northwest Missouri University in Maryville, MO.

    Years ago back in Milwaukee I used to attend a Christmas Madrigal Feast, which I think was performed by a MN college or university group. A feast, sometimes with mead, and the beautiful harmonies of music of Medieval and Renaissance centuries.

    I don’t recall hearing this carol, but it is lovely.
