This
carol is distinctly upbeat. I don't remember how it started
except that the words of the title spring straight out of
Luke 2. The tune is remarkably catchy, the sort people will
leave a service humming. The two-line verse is designed
for fast close harmony with almost any choir as it is scored
Soprano/Alto/Men. This gets over the awful problems when
there are simply not enough men to go around. Again both
words and music are my copyright. Let's
go to Bethlehem! was first performed at
Worth church in East Kent in 1998. Very minor alterations to
the words have been made since then.
This is part of the refrain.
