Description:
Gabriel's Message - Gabriel tells the Virgin Mary that she is to bear Jesus...

I haven't done a proper song like this for a good few months - my voice is rusty, so there are probably a few duff notes in this. Other than that, happy with it! :D

Lyrics:
The angel Gabriel from heaven came
His wings as drifted snow
His eyes as flame
"All hail" said he "thou lowly maiden Mary,
Most highly favoured lady," Gloria!


Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head
"To me be as it pleaseth God," she said,
"My soul shall laud and magnify his holy name."
Most highly favoured lady Gloria!

"For known a blessed mother thou shalt be,
All generations laud and honor thee,
Thy Son shall be Emanuel,
By seers foretold
Most highly favoured lady," Gloria!

Of her Emanuel, the Christ was born
In Bethlehem all on a Christmas morn
And everyone throughout the world forever saved
Most highly favoured lady Gloria!

Thank you!! And um....Gloria's not a person - it's latin, it means 'Glory', (as in gloria in excelsis deo - glory to God in the highest)

Nice and intimate.

I'm being nit-picky here but, thought I heard some figity noises at the beginning of the track. Sounded like papers being rustled about that got through to the microphone. Also, I thought maybe a bit more presence/volume overall would've been nice. But, like I said, all minor nits. Otherwise, wonderful Christmas Spirit. Very pleasant listen.

Merry Christmas!
