Plain Talker Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 thank you Muddycoffeee and Royal Regular for that. I called it "Shiny Morn" not "Smiley Morn". Whoops, my bad! PT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddycoffee Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Well to be honest PT, the words do vary in different areas. So that was probably the right version for stocksbridge. Many of these carols were passed along by word of mouth anyhow, it was amazing how many people in the pubs of Oughtibridge knew them all from end to end without a songsheet!

Tsomo Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Perhaps some of you know of the carol singing tradition in the Stannington,Bradfield ,Loxley area. The tunes bear local names i.e. Malin Bridge,Stannington. Does anyone have memories of this tradition? Does anyone have the score music for Malin Bridge? I have heard one of James Montgomery's carols "Bright & Joyful Is the Morn" sung to Malin Bridge and would like the music to teach it to my church for this Christmas. Bright and joyful is the morn, For to us a Child is born; From the highest realms of Heaven, Unto us a Son is given. On His shoulders He shall bear Power and majesty, and wear On His vesture and His thigh, Names most awful, names most high. Wonderful in counsel be, Christ, the incarnate Deity; Sire of ages, ne’er to cease, King of kings, and Prince of peace. Come and worship at His feet; Yield to Him the homage meet; From the manger to the throne, Homage due to God alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daven Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I have a CD of local folk singing these carols - recorded in a pub in Bradfield. Listening to it brings back very fond memories or my very late Grandma belting out the same carols at gatherings in Stannington in the 1960's.
