O Little Town of Bethlehem - BB PDF

Å BETHLEHEM, DU VESLE BY



Teksten til denne sangen ble skrevet av presten Phillips Brooks i 1868, etter en reise til Betlehem tre år tidligere.

Han tjenestegjorde som prest ved Church of the Holy Trinity i Philadelphia, og han ba sin organist i denne kirken, Lewis Redner, om å skrive melodien.

Redner selv forteller at han strevde med å finne en god melodi, men at han natt til søndagen før første framføring, ble vekket av at han hørte en engleaktig stemme som hvisket melodien til ham.









O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM



The text for this carol was written by the Episcopal priest Phillips Brooks in 1865, and it was inspired by his visit to Bethlehem three years earlier.

He asked his organist in the Church of the Holy Trinity in Philadelphia, Lewis Redner, to write a tune to his poem.

Lewis Redner himself later told that he found it hard to write a good tune for the text. But the night before the first performance ?I was roused from sleep late in the night hearing an angel-strain whispering in my ear, and seizing a piece of music paper I jotted down the treble of the tune as we now have it, and on Sunday morning before going to church I filled in the harmony. Neither Mr. Brooks nor I ever thought the carol or the music to it would live beyond that Christmas of 1868.?
