'The Darkest Midnight in December' is an Irish traditional folk carol for Christmas night, after Fr William Devereux, 1728. It is from Fr Devereux's collection of Kilmore Christmas carols, called 'A New Garland'. These Christmas Carols are much more like folk songs.
I used to consider this beautiful Carol, as MY Christmas Carol. I have sung it as a solo during several Christmas concerts when I sang with the choir, 'Tonalis Company of Singers' and the choir 'Choros'. I have also sung it in folk clubs etc.
There are actually quite a few verses, but here I only sing verse 1, first solo acapella and then as a duet with myself with a movable drone and third time as a canon with drones.
This Christmas carol can be found in many Carol books with all the many ornaments actually written into the sheet music, true to the sean noes style from the West of Ireland.

The Kilmore Carols are found only in Wexford, and date back more than 300 years. In 1684 Luke Waddinge, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Ferns, published A Smale Garland of Pious and Godly Songs. The cover inscription continues: "Composed by a devout Man/ For the Solace of his Friends and/ neighbours in their afflictions." The book contained 11 Christmas songs, two of which are still sung in Kilmore today. The texts were new, while the melodies were drawn from various traditional sources.
Waddinge died shortly after his book appeared, but interest in the subject was revived by a Father William Devereux, parish priest of Drinagh, Wexford from 1730-1771 (the current Devereuxes in Kilmore are almost certainly related to this priest). Devereux published A New Garland Containing Songs for Christmas. This included some of his own carols along with a few from Waddinge's collection.

Father R. Ranson, who published an edition of the Devereux book in 1949, claims that "the carols were first sung in a little chapel at Killiane, and tradition seems to indicate that the choir consisted of six men." The chapel in question was "no more than a mud hut".

The carols proved very popular, and manuscript copies quickly spread to neighbouring parishes, including Kilmore. Diarmaid O Muirithe, who has assembled and edited a collection of all the Wexford Carols (The Wexford Carols, Dolmen Press, 1982) observes: "They were sung in most of the churches of south Wexford in the 18th century, and even well into the 19th century. I think it's a great pity that they're now no longer sung outside Kilmore." O Muirithe considers that the church hierarchy in Wexford is to some extent responsible for the carols' decline. "For centuries they had been regarded by the church with a kind of benign tolerance, no more than that."

One priest in Kilmore Quay in the 19th century decided to get rid of the carols altogether and replace them with Victorian hymnody. "But the people in Kilmore decided they wouldn't be banished. The priest was banished instead, because nobody came into the church the next year. The bishop had to transfer him."

blew the dust off of this one.... from the Slingers project folder.  Thought it'd be a fun one to try to finish.  One I can relate to.... all to well.

Forget Me Not

Intro spoken :
"My child - please remember,  --  Time is like a cascade of sands , it moves so very quickly  through each and every one of the hour glasses of our lives - please Listen  . - while I let you know  .......... what my hourglass meant for me  -  With you  -- In  It"

Verse 1: 
When the days grow quiet and the stars fade away,
my love for you is never far away.
you're lights in my soul,
Through every moment, in my world that I've known.

Chorus:
My hearts love  continues, both near and afar,
A love so deep, like a galaxy of stars.
Though I'm gone, you will never be alone,
I still  here your voices, 
of your love to the doorsteps of my new home.


Verse 2:
oh my child, you were my clown and my pride,
 fun times you thought I forgot
Your smile, your laughter, your talk,
here is my love ,  no more doubts
talk with me now  I'm listening within 
my love is your thoughts let your healing begin 

Chorus:
My hearts love  continues, both near and afar,
A love so deep, like a galaxy of stars.
Though I'm gone, you will never be alone,
I still  here your voices, 
of your love to the doorsteps of my new home.


Bridge:
And when you look to the sky so wide,
Know I’m watching, with love in my eyes .
In your hearts, I’ll always be,
The love we share, for all eternity.

Chorus:
My hearts love  continues, both near and afar,
A love so deep, like a galaxy of stars.
Though I'm gone, you will never be alone,
I still  here your voices, 
of your love to the doorsteps of my new home.

Outro:
So remember, this truth that’s true,
Forever and always, I’ll be loving you.
Through thick and thin , never a doubt
you are GOD's PUREST LOVE
on this earthly roundabout!!
.. "I .. LOVE... YOU.. MY ... CHILD "
" THANK YOU .. FOR ... BEING ... MY ... CHILD "!
"THANK YOU - FROM - THIS - LOVING - DAD
