Program Notes

Morning Has Broken is a popular and well-known Christian hymn first published in 1931. It has words by English author Eleanor Farjeon and is set to a traditional Scottish Gaelic tune known as Bunessan (it shares this tune with the 19th century Christmas Carol Child in the Manger). It is often sung in children's services.

English pop musician and folk singer Cat Stevens included a version on his 1971 album Teaser and the Firecat.
