Merry Christmas Eve...
🎶🎵Silent Night🎵🎶 - Of Kings and Angels album available via mediaevalbaebes.com/music.
•
Translated from the original Austrian carol “Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht”, this most famous of Christmas hymns was first performed on Christmas Eve in 1818.
•
During the Christmas Day truce of 1914 it was sung in unison in German, English and French as the one carol known by all the front line soldiers during World War One.

• 💫 Fairest of them all,
Even brighter than the star of the sea,
Brighter even than daylight,
Mother and daughter both,
I call to you - to smile upon me,
Mistress, implore of your son for me,
In humble penitence,
That I might come to you,
Mary
•
Lady, flower of creation,
Rose without thorns,
You carried Jesus, King of Heaven,
Through your divine grace,
Above all others you win the prize,
Lady, Queen of Paradise,
The chosen one,
Gentle virgin and mother,
So fruitful
•
The whole world was lost,
On account of Eve's folly,
Until our Lord was born,
Through your bounty,
With a final farewell departing,
Darkest night gave way to day,
With a greeting,
All that is well springs from you,
In your virtue
•
In sorrow you are the best advisor,
Good fortune in abundance,
All who are weary find rest in you,
Honoured mother on high,
So kindly please entreat him,
He who shed his blood for us all,
On the cross,
To let us come by him,
Into the light 💫

Baebes Advent Day 19... 🎵In The Bleak Midwinter🎵 - from our most recent Victoriana album also featuring our 2x Emmy nominated soundtrack for ITV & PBS's Victoria series - available via mediaevalbaebes.com/music (link in bio⬆️)

The words to this poem were written in the late 19th century by the English poet Christina Rossetti at the request of the magazine Scribner’s Monthly for a Christmas Poem. Rossetti is also the author of Goblin Market, a tale of two sisters’ misadventures with goblins, which serves as a metaphor for the cycle of temptation and redemption. •
She also modelled as the Virgin Mary in her brother Dante Rossetti’s painting “The Girlhood of Mary”, the first painting to be inscribed with the initials of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.
•
The text to this highly regarded carol was first printed after Rossetti’s death in 1904, and is reminiscent of apocalyptic passages from the Bible, with references to Heaven and Earth fleeing away at the enormity of Christ’s birth.
•
Most famously set to music by Gustav Holst in 1906, there have many other musical settings of these words including the critically acclaimed and more complex anthem written by Harold Darke in 1909.
