Song of Simeon GA 301

I’ve jumped all of Christmas because GA has the standard carols that appear elsewhere and so have been blogged already on this site.

This is Jane Wood’s Nunc Dimmittis. The general editor appears to have been tasked with providing a setting for everything for which no set nor satisfactory tune existed at the time. Her music is better than serviceable and is the spine of this collection. I applaud that she didn’t claim copyright on Luke 2:29-32.

Now, Lord, let your servant go in peace just as you promised long ago.

For our eyes have seen the salvation prepared for all the world to see.

A light to shine in the darkness and give glory to your people.
