Monday Music: Carol of the Field Mice (from The Wind in the Willows)

"Joy Shall Be Yours in the Morning"

Kenneth Grahame's beloved children's book, The Wind in the Willows, contained a Yuletide carol in one of the stories. In 1997, composer Brian Holmes wrote the musical score to accompany the carol that Grahame had written in his 1918 work. The song has been sung by choirs and was featured in one of the British television episodes of The Wind in the Willows in the 1980s. One can view that episode here.
