… How far is it to Bethlehem? Not very far, Shall we find the stable room lit by a star?...
Leonard Ballantine has set this well-known carol with words by Frances Chesterton to a gently flowing piano accompaniment and easy voice parts. The melody is sometimes in unison and sometimes harmonised, leading to a varied choral texture, and the middle verses are reharmonised to lend further variety to the piece.
