I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day, by Alma Deutscher

This is a Christmas Carol that I have just composed. The words are based on a poem by Longfellow, with a refrain that I have added. My sister Helen is singing it with me. The words:
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet, the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to all!

Ring out, oh bells, ring peace on earth,
Ring tidings of comfort and joy.

Now ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good-will to all!

Ring out, oh bells, ring peace on earth,
Ring tidings of comfort and joy.

I've heard the sisters in this video dozens of times. I enjoy it every time.

Another gorgeous composition by Alma. Beautiful singing by the Deutscher sisters. Alma is a force for good in an often troubled and violent world. Long may her music continue.

Last year at this time it was Carnegie Hall. This year we have this wonderful video. I'm hoping this means we will always get to spend time with Alma and Helen during the holiday season.

You’ve always brought me tears of joy, throughout the last couple of years, since I found you on YouTube. So nice now, to see that Helen too is part of the blessings you share. SALUTE !

Tidings of comfort and joy, sent forth from two angelic voices and gladly received by the heart of an otherwise grumpy old man. Thank You, Alma.
