Jauchzet Frohlocket – After J.S. Bach

Opus 10 No. 8

"Strings
Strings and trumpets
And trumpets						
And trumpets
Strings
Strings and trumpets
And trumpets
And trumpets
Strings
And trumpets
And trumpets
And trum!"

Sing, you choir, loud and clear!
Let your voice be heard
Let it pierce the air
Pierce it once, pierce it twice
Angelic hosts
Angelic hosts
Angelic hosts
Pierce it thrice!

Move decisively
Move decisively
Move decisively
Left and right
Dance the dance
Day and night
From the slayer
Lightning flashes!
From his eye
From the slayer
Flash!
Move decisively
Move decisively
Move decisively
Left and right
Dance the dance
Day and night

From his eye
Lightning flashes!
A time of war
A time of clashes!

The command has come
Slay! Slay! Slay! Slay!
You cannot escape
On that dreaded Day

This high music is for you!
Cue higher music, cue
Let it ring
Clear and clarion!
It is for you and you
It is for you
It is your companion

Move, death angel
To and fro
Let all the people know
Yesterday, tomorrow, today
That you, Lord God
Have come to

Slay! Slay! Slay!

The Alternative Three Magi!

Opus 10 No. 7

Everyone

“It was the first century…
and Herod had just lost the
seasonal supermarket chain war
– again…!”


1st Verse

From all the way in Lapland
To Bethlehem with presents
Came Santa Claus and Rudolf 
Wearing their bright green panties

Santa Claus gave lace up boots
Much bigger than stocking size
He also gave shaving kit
For when Jesus gets baptised

Mr Spock!


2nd Verse

Mr Spock from the Starship
Came from yonder Galaxy
His gift for the young baby
Was a large tube of Smarties

He also had other gifts
From great planets far and wide
But he lost them all
Oh dear!
When the Starship fell over


3rd Verse

The third wiseman was lanky
He wrote music for the Tsars
Moved from Russia to the States
This Sergei Rachmaninoff

His gift was not all that good
But must be played with left toe
Softly and quietly
A lullaby for a King
A full-size grand piano


Traditional Polish Lullaby

Close your eyes, Jesus, dear
Hush all Your sighing
Mary is holding You
No need for crying
