It's the shortest day of the year.
Now is the solstice of the year,
winter is the glad song that you hear. Seven maids move in seven time. Have the lads up ready in a line. Ring out these bells. Ring out, ring solstice bells. Ring solstice bells. Join together beneath the mistletoe. by the holy oak whereon it grows. Seven druids dance in seven time. Sing the song the bells call, loudly chiming. Ring out these bells. Ring out, ring solstice bells. Ring solstice bells. Praise be to the distant sister sun, joyful as the silver planets run. Seven maids move in seven time. Sing the song the bells call, loudly chiming. Ring out those bells. Ring out, ring solstice bells. Ring solstice bells. Ring on, ring out. Ring on, ring out. (Ian Anderson) Hapy solstice everybody. -- Steve Never shake the ketchup bottle. None'll come, and then a lot'll |

Do any of you know 'Serenade' (op22) by Derek Bougeois? He wrote it for his own wedding, the bride having specified that she wanted 'something that nobody can march to and won't make my mother cry'. It's in 11/8 with a 13/8 middle section! |
