John Rutter Christmas Quiz

[apsleybabe]

Is anyone else doing the John Rutter Christmas quiz 2021. On his face book page and webpage, each day there is a snippet from a Christmas Carol to identify. Today the phrase is "follow the star of bethlehem" I know lots with "star to Bethlehem" but don't recognise "star OF Bethlehem"

Many thanks, I had also come up with this after posting but couldn't find the sheet music to check the score and couldn't find the title in the list of carols that I have and it's not a carol that I know. I think this is a great quiz for music lovers!

the sheet music is on the link you gave to us apsleybabe.

Thanks The Winner, I meant I couldn't find the full musical score to check the one line against! (my fault for not being more clear)

apsleybabe, perhaps I wasn't clear either. I clicked the link I gave you, then clicked on the dark blue box where you can listen to it being sung on youtube. At exactly one minute (1.00) they sing "follow the star of Bethlehem" and the notes they sing (just for those 5 words) match the sheet music you were given in your original link. I only checked those 5 words and they all matched.

The main thing is, it's the correct one. Good luck, it sounds like a fun quiz.
