Children Sleeping Under Bridges (A Christmas Carol)
Sheet Music
Written in 2005 for a local choir. Many members threatened to quit if the director insisted they perform it. Some of my Christian friends were
also scandalized, saying it is inappropriate to sing about poverty and the homeless at Christmas. Funny, I always thought that that is what
Christmas is about.
