'Twas in the Moon of Wintertime

Author: Jean de Brebeuf, 1593-1649; Jesse E. Middleton, 1872-1960 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #72 (1978) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 with refrain Refrain First Line: Jesus your King is born! Lyrics: 1 ’Twas in the moon of wintertime When all the birds had fled, That God, the Lord of all the earth, Sent angel choirs instead. Before their light the stars grew dim, And wond'ring hunters heard the hymn: Refrain: Jesus your king is born! Jesus is born! Glory be to God on high! 2 The earliest moon of wintertime Is not so round and fair As was the ring of glory Around the infant there. And when the shepherds then drew near The angel voices rang out clear: [Refrain] 3 O children of the forest free, The angels' song is true. The holy child of earth and heav'n Is born today for you. Come, kneel before the radiant boy, Who brings you beauty, peace, and joy. [Refrain] Topics: Christmas; Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: UNE JEUNE PUCELLE

Marty Haugen

b. 1950 Person Name: Marty Haugen, b. 1950 Arranger of "UNE JEUNE PUCELLE" in Gather Comprehensive Marty Haugen (b. 1950), is a prolific liturgical composer with many songs included in hymnals across the liturgical spectrum of North American hymnals and beyond, with many songs translated into different languages. He was raised in the American Lutheran Church, received a BA in psychology from Luther College, yet found his first position as a church musician in a Roman Catholic parish at a time when the Roman Catholic Church was undergoing profound liturgical and musical changes after Vatican II. Finding a vocation in that parish to provide accessible songs for worship, he continued to compose and to study, receiving an MA in pastoral studies at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul Minnesota. A number of liturgical settings were prepared for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and more than 400 of his compositions are available from several publishers, especially GIA Publications, who also produced some 30 recordings of his songs. He is composer-in-residence at Mayflower Community Congregational Church in Minneapolis and continues to compose and travel to speak and teach at worship events around the world. Emily Brink

Composer of "JESOUS AHATONHIA" in The Book of Praise In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Healey Willan

1880 - 1968 Arranger of "JESOUS AHATONHIA (JESUS IS BORN)" in The Book of Common Praise Healey Willan (b. Balham, London, England, October 12, 1880; d. Toronto, Ontario, February 16, 1968), theory teacher, composer and organist, was born into an Anglo-Catholic family in England and served several churches in the London area, becoming known especially for his adaptations of Gregorian chant to be able to be sung in English translation. In 1913 he moved to Canada where he led the theory department and was organist at the Toronto Conservatory of Music. He also was organist at St. Paul’s, Canada’s largest Anglican church, and after 1921 at the smaller Church of St. Mary Magdalene. By invitation, he composed an anthem for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, a singular honor for one not residing in England. Emily Brink
