James Lavino Peaceful was the night for SATB a cappella Vocal score Words by John Milton Published by Boosey & Hawkes Music Publishers Ltd Aldwych House 71–91 Aldwych London WC2B 4HN www.boosey.com © Copyright 2009 by Boosey & Hawkes Music Publishers Ltd ISMN 979-0-060-12210-1 Music setting after the composer’s original from On the Morning of Christ’s Nativity John Milton (1608–74) Peaceful was the night Wherein the Prince of Light His reign of peace upon the earth began: The winds with wonder whist Smoothly the waters kissed, Whispering new joys to the mild ocean, Who now hath quite forgot to rave, While birds of calm sit brooding on the charmed wave. The stars with deep amaze Stand fi x’d in steadfast gaze, Bending one way their precious influence; And will not take their flight, For all the morning light, Or Lucifer that often warn’d them thence; But in their glimmering orbs did glow, Until their Lord himself bespake, and bid them go. Peaceful was the night Wherein the Prince of Light His reign of peace upon the earth began.
