Morning has Broken

"Black distraction of a cats desire" Digital Print © Rich L. Frederick

The melody behind the hymn "Morning has broken" is an old Gaelic melody. This melody has been set with different text over the years.. but one of the most famous is 'Morning', which most people associate with the Cat Stevens recording.

I grew up in the Presbyterian Church, so this hymn was part of the normal repertoir of pieces that we would chorally sing, accompanied by the organist (who by the way, was my first piano teacher).
As we approach Easter, I thought it would be appropriate to share my own version of this classic. The lyrics are simple and sweet, and I believe are reflective of the new beginning that Easter brings.
