Another little treat for those of you who made it here today: God Bless Us Every One, by Nick Bicat, the theme music for A Christmas Carol with George C. Scott as Scrooge, 1984–wonderful treatment of the story, and packed with good, old-fashioned, robust Christmas music.
That’s old Shrewsbury Cathedral, down at the end of the street.
This is the theme music for the 1984 version of A Christmas Carol, starring George C. Scott as Scrooge. Nick Bicat composed the music, and the street scenes were shot in Shrewsbury, England. If you haven’t seen it, trust me, it’s wonderful.
The story itself is a reminded that God created us for good works–not to buy our way into Heaven, but to be vessels of God’s love, living testimony to His sanctifying power, and instruments of His goodness.
I love Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, and this wonderful 1984 movie version of it, starring George C. Scott as Scrooge. And I really love this theme music, composed by Nick Bicat, And God Bless Us, Every One.
I guess there are those who think A Christmas Carol is old hat. Are you kidding me? This is a movie about repentance and redemption–and who in this fallen world doesn’t need repentance and redemption? Who is more to be pitied than someone who has no hope of redemption?
But that’s exactly what Our Lord Jesus Christ came into the world to do for us.
