“What a beautiful duet – thank you for brightening a damp, chill, gray Saturday.
Hosanna!  indeed” – Dave J.

SongNotes
Jamie O’Reilly
The Holy City/Bells of St. Mary’s
In this stirring duet from the musical revue Songs of a Catholic Childhood, Jamie and Michael Smith merge memories: hers of her parents singing Holy City in the choir; his of his father’s crooning Crosby’s vocal style, during family trips to the ocean beach.

The Holy City
(words and music F. E Weatherly, Stephen Adams)

Last night I lay a sleeping
There came a dream so fair
I stood in old Jerusalem
beside the temple there
I heard the children singing
and evermore they sang
Me-thought the voice of angels
In heav’n in answer rang
Me-thought the voice of angels
In heav’n in answer rang

Jerusalem, Jerusalem Lift up your gates and sing
Hosanna in the highest, Hosanna to your King
Jerusalem, Jerusalem  Sing for the night is o’er
Hosanna in the highest, Hosanna forevermore
Hosanna in the highest, Hosanna forevermore

The Bells of St. Mary’s
(words Douglas Furber; music A. Emmett Adams)
The bells of St. Mary’s
Ah, hear they are calling
The young loves, the true loves
who come from the sea

And so my beloved
when red leaves are falling
The love bells shall ring out
ring out for you and me

(Michael and Jamie duet)
Jerusalem, Jerusalem  Hark how the angels sing
Hosanna in the highest, Hosanna to your King

Jerusalem, Jerusalem  Sing for the night is oe’r
Hosanna in the highest, Hosanna forevermore
