The Star to the Stable

from Heavenly Peace by Darlene Koldenhoven

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Heavenly Peace is the premier Holiday release by GRAMMY® Award-winning vocal artist, Darlene Koldenhoven, known worldwide as the featured blond soprano in Yanni Live at the Acropolis PBS-TV Special. Throughout this amazing collection of 10 very special songs, the lyrics touch upon the spiritual and emotional sides of all the characters involved in the Christmas Story, while the music and production reflect elements of world music, classical, and relaxing ambient woven together by her soaring, angelic, 5 octave vocal range. Seasonal, non-seasonal, and original pieces are included. Together they create a serene and joyful celebration of the birth of Christ, suitable for listening throughout the year. When she wasn't playing, programming, & arranging herself, as producer, Darlene called upon the talented skills of such artists as violinist Karen Briggs (also featured on the Yanni video), programmer Brad Cole (keyboardist with Phil Collins), film composer Ira Newborn (Ferris Bueller, Naked Gun, Manhattan Transfer) who played tabla and other middle-eastern instruments, oboist Earle Dumler (Frank Zappa & many hundreds of Los Angeles studio recordings), flutist Brice Martin, and with Doug Lenier (Smokey Robinson, Nancy Wilson) engineering. Vocalists on Angels We Have Heard on High in order from high to low: Darlene Koldenhoven, Machan Taylor, Yvonne Williams, Melissa Mackey, Clydene Jackson, Carmen Twillie. The CD comes in a jewel case with lyric/credits booklet.

lyrics

The Star to the Stable

Music by Darlene Koldenhoven, Lyric by K.A. Parker

The star, the star
So bright it burned
The heart of man
So hard it yearned
For something true and good and pure
A light to show the way
And then the babe was born, was born
That Holy Christmas Day

The star, the star
They saw the star
They followed, followed, followed far
And came to humble Bethlehem
And then the stable small
This cannot be the blessed king
It can't be Him at all

Where is the palace
Where is the temple
Where are the servants
Where is the gold
Where are the high priests
Where are the taxmen
This child cannot be who heaven foretold

Then angels sang
As twilight fell
Glory to Emmanuel
With Mary, Joseph standing near
They made a joyful sound
The wise men knelt there in the straw
With shepherds all around
Then once again the star they saw
Praise God, the King is found
