With the poor, and mean, and lowly, Lived on earth our Saviour holy. 2 They looked up and saw a star, Shining in the East beyond them far; 3 For He is our childhood’s pattern; And to the earth it gave great light, Day by day, like us He grew; And so it continued both day and night: He was little, weak, and helpless, Nowell, Nowell etc Tears and smiles, like us He knew; And He feeleth for our sadness, 3 And by the light of that same star, And He shareth in our gladness. Three wise men came from country far; To seek for a king was their intent 4 And our eyes at last shall see Him, And to follow the star wherever it went: Through His own redeeming love; Nowell, Nowell etc For that Child so dear and gentle, Is our Lord in heav’n above, 4 This star drew nigh to the northwest; And He leads His children on, O’er Bethlehem it took its rest, To the place where He is gone. And there it did both stop and stay Right over the place where Jesus lay: 5 Not in that poor lowly stable, Nowell, Nowell etc With the oxen standing by, We shall see Him; but in heaven, 5 Then enter’d in those wise men three, Set at God’s right hand on high; Full rev’rently upon their knee, Where like stars His children crowned And offer’d there in His presence All in white shall wait around.

  • Operaharmony
    #OPERAHARMONY CREATING OPERAS IN ISOLATION 1 3 WELCOME TO #OPERA HARMONY FROM FOUNDER – ELLA MARCHMENT Welcome to #OperaHarmony. #Opera Harmony is a collection of opera makers from across the world who, during this time of crisis, formed an online community to create new operas. I started this initiative when the show that I was rehearsing at Dutch National Opera was cancelled because of the lockdown. Using social media and online platforms I invited colleagues worldwide to join me in the immense technical and logistical challenge of creating new works online. I set the themes of ‘distance’ and ‘community’, organised artist teams, and since March have been overseeing the creation of twenty new operas. All the artists involved in #OperaHarmony are highly skilled professionals who typically apply their talents in creating live theatre performances. Through this project, they have had to adapt to working in a new medium, as well as embracing new technologies and novel ways of creating, producing, and sharing work. #OperaHarmony’s goal was to bring people together in ways that were unimaginable prior to Covid-19. Over 100 artists from all the opera disciplines have collaborated to write, stage, record, and produce the new operas. The pieces encapsulate an incredibly dark period for the arts, and they are a symbol of the unstoppable determination, and community that exists to perform and continue to create operatic works. This has been my saving grace throughout lockdown, and it has given all involved a sense of purpose. When we started building these works we had no idea how they would eventually be realised, and it is with great thanks that we acknowledge the support of Opera Vision in helping to both distribute and disseminate these pieces, and also for establishing a means in which audiences can be invited into the heart of the process too .
