MYSTERIOUSLY ASTONISHING theme and HAUNTINGLY CAPTIVATING lyrics complemented in melodic progressions and visual scenes. Closed captions were necessarily beneficial for hearing impaired. Thank you.
Dan Forrest never ceases to amaze me. This is more than beautiful and I will certainly do my part as the choir I'm in performs this piece at Christmas.
Dan, when I first heard this, I wept. I will cry through it when we sing it. Thank you for wrapping your music around this outstanding poem. What a wonderful combination.
After learning, and getting to sing, Come, by Dan Forrest, with our choir at one of our winter concerts, I have enjoyed his work sooo much. So when our director was trying to decide on music for this winter's concert, I piped up and asked for something by him. I got my answer in two gorgeous melodies that thrilled me so much! Let the Stable still Asonish, and the Work of Christmas are both being sung by our choir, along with several other selections. I think our director, Alice Boyer. Likes him as much as I do!!
Absolutely stunning, as usual to expect from Dan. Now arrange it for real church quires that have 5 sopranos, 3 altos, 2 female tenors and a deaf male tenor and one male bass that sounds like a cross between a foghorn and a trombone filled with cold coffee. #thestruggleisreal 🎉😛
@@DanForrestMusic keep up the amazing work. I absolutely love your stuff. Have done a ton of it with my choir in San Diego. Going to do this for our Christmas Concert this year ❤❤❤
Let the stable still astonish Straw dirt floor, of donkeys, oxen Crumbling crokked walls No bed to carry that pain And then, the child Rag-wrapped, laid to cry in the trough let the stable still astonish Straw dirt floor, dull eyes Dusty flanks of donkeys, oxen Crumbling crooked walls No bed to carry that pain And then, the child Rag-wrapped, laid to cry in a trough Who would have chosen this? Who would have said 'Yes, let And earth be born here, in this place Who would 'Yes, let the God of all the heavens And earth In this place,"? Who but the same God who stands In the darker, fouler rooms of our hearts And says 'Yes, let the God And earth be born here, 'Yes, let the God of all the heavens and earth be born here, in this place Let the same God Be born here in this place
Our God came to us as someone poor, oppressed, and outcast. Let us always remember that our God is the God of the poor. What a gorgeous piece
And remember that we are all poor. None of us have any call on His mercy except by His notice of us.

Beautiful. Melancolic.

I very much like seeing the orchestra and choir and soloists, but I'll take what I can get! Profoundly beautiful as is most of Dan Forrestt's music.
We are singing this song in the choir that I'm in, and it is incredible!
Dude seriously!!
Love. Love the lyrics. Powerful and moving. Thank you.
Thank you for this beautiful message and the lovely setting.

I write some pieces to work for small/limited choirs, and I write other pieces to give them something to aspire toward. :)

Absolutely beautiful!!! Powerful!!!!
Let the stable still astonish
Straw dirt floor, of donkeys, oxen
Crumbling crokked walls
No bed to carry that pain
And then, the child
Rag-wrapped, laid to cry in the trough
let the stable still astonish
Straw dirt floor, dull eyes
Dusty flanks of donkeys, oxen
Crumbling crooked walls
No bed to carry that pain
And then, the child
Rag-wrapped, laid to cry in a trough
Who would have chosen this?
Who would have said
'Yes, let
And earth be born here, in this place
Who would
'Yes, let the God of all the heavens
And earth
In this place,"?
Who but the same God who stands
In the darker, fouler rooms of our hearts
And says
'Yes, let the God
And earth be born here,
'Yes, let the God of all the heavens and earth be born here, in this place
Let the same God
Be born here in this place
