Songs in search of a stage... The music of James B. Mitchell. Music for the cabaret, stage, and small instrumental groups. Soft jazz vocals.
Pianist by training, songwriter by passion, and a lifelong lover of music. My style tends to fall broadly into the "Musical" genre, with occasional ventures outside my comfort zone, but my passion has always been music for the stage.

Lyrics
The lyrics are from a poem by Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830-1894), with the slight addition of the "alleluia" and a modification to the line "what will be our sacred sign?": Love came down at Christmas, Love all lovely, love divine; Love was born at Christmas, Star and angels gave the sign. Alleluia, alleluia. Worship we the Godhead, Love incarnate, love divine; Worship we our Jesus: But what will be our sacred sign? Love shall be our token, Love be yours and love be mine, Love to God and all men, Love for plea and gift and sign. Love came down at Christmas, Love all lovely, love divine; Love was born at Christmas, Star and angels gave the sign. Alleluia, alleluia
