The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die...
Ring, happy bells, across the snow.
The year is going; let him go.
Ring in the valient men and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand.
Ring out the darkness of the land;
Ring in the Christ that is to be!
Words: Alfred Tennyson
Music: Crawford Gates,
Professor (emeritus) at the Eastman School of Music
(This writer performed many times in his musical
"Promised Valley" - as good a musical as any ever on Broadway,
solid and soaring in epic scope. More on Gates' artistry later.)
