Christ Child Lullaby Scottish Midnight Singing
Facebook Live – facebook.com/catecliffordmusic
Join me to take part in a real-time tradition that is 200 years old. Since it was written in the 1800s for a minister leaving his congregation for Canada, Christ Child Lullaby has been sung on The Isle of Barra, in the Outer Hebrides, every Christmas Eve at midnight — which is our 7 PM here on the East Coast of the USA. So, I’ll take to my Facebook page just before seven on Christmas Eve, give a hello, and lead my favorite English translation of the song at 7 PM on the nose, so we can add all our voices to theirs from wherever we are, and partake in this particular slice of holiday magic together. Join me! This livestream is free, though if you feel so moved, donations through Paypal are welcome. This livestream will not be recorded, so note the time and don’t be late!
