Belle Rose de Noël

Je la vois fleurir, belle rose, 
Je la vois fleurir, belle rose, 
Belle rose de Noêl,
Comme une étoile,
Belle rose de Noël,
C’est la rose de saison.

Je les vois briller, les chandelles,
Je les vois briller, les chandelles,
Illuminant les maisons, 
Et leur lumière,
Illuminant les maisons,
C’est la lumière de saison.

Et j’entends sonner les clochettes,
Et j’entends sonner les clochettes,
Les clochettes de la joie,
Et les sonnettes,
Des clochettes de la joie,
Résonnent pour toi et moi.

Music in the Green

Calling on all musicians - professional and non - to include in your performances pieces that celebrate water and green growing things: trees, plants, bushes, forests, and all the creatures that thrive in greenery, like birds, animals, people.

I am sure you know plenty such pieces. I have been collecting songs and instrumental works for many years. You may browse my list and add to it as well.

Why am I appealing to you?

This is as good a time as any to remind our audiences, our families, ourselves of our precious heritage of trees and grasses and plants that enrich our earth, shelter us, feed us and provide us with the air we breathe.

Join me and others in this movement of music in service of our beautiful green and blue planet. Sing it in the shower, and share it with all who listen to you perform, and all who perform with you.
