What is sadness in Otto Luening\u2019s carol becomes poignancy in the song by Charles Ives, and hopefulness and sadness are contrasted in the lyrics and the music of \u201cThe Child Comes Every Winter.\u201d This work was written in the spring of 1999 at the Liguria Center for the Arts and Humanities in Bogliasco, Italy. It is dedicated to Ariana Tamar Goldsworthy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_7-divioverlays_987509713  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Text<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_8-divioverlays_987509713  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p align=\"justify\">The child comes ev\u2019ry winter<br \/>\nTo tell us the amazing news:<br \/>\nHope is born in Bethlehem.<\/p>\n<p>The star comes ev\u2019ry winter<br \/>\nTo tell us where to find the boy.<br \/>\nCome, it says, to Bethlehem,<br \/>\nCome in peace and joy.<\/p>\n<p>The three kings come ev\u2019ry winter,<br \/>\nFar away they heard a call:<br \/>\nWise men, wise enough to know<br \/>\nThat the child is the wisest one of all.<\/p>\n<p>Ev\u2019ry year the same story,<br \/>\nBut the story\u2019s always new.<br \/>\nAlways too good to be true.<br \/>\n(But it\u2019s true).<br \/>\nWinter\u2019s child is born for you.<\/p>\n<p>The child comes ev\u2019ry winter<br \/>\nTo tell us the amazing news.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014William Zinsser<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[dflip id=\"7094\"][\/dflip]\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=I4oPzrkfqbE&amp;t=2s<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":7096,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[122,42],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-7010","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-chester-biscardi","product_cat-individual-songs","first","instock","purchasable","product-type-variable"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.northstarmusicllc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/7010","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.northstarmusicllc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.northstarmusicllc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northstarmusicllc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7096"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.northstarmusicllc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7010"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northstarmusicllc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=7010"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northstarmusicllc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=7010"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northstarmusicllc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=7010"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
