Golden
Carol: From A
Singing Faith. As we travelled by car for a week's holiday in
November 1995, I thought that the golden flowering broom and gorse
along the roadside seemed to reflect the joy of the approaching
Christmas season. When we returned home I wrote this carol, which Fred
sent by e-mail to Archdeacon Reg Nicholson as an example of New Zealand
creativity. He in turn transmitted it on the Internet to the world-wide
Anglican network, generating an amazing response, and subsequently used
it in the St Aidan's, Claudelands carol service. Haeremai is the Maori
word for “Welcome Suggested tune: Crüger (A&MR 219) Please press the red title to
hear a MIDI recording of this tune, and then re-open this window to
