It’s been years since I saw Christmas revels in Cambridge Massachusetts. I enjoyed going to see Revels with my grandparents so much. This song has always been my favorite. Thanks for keeping these memories alive.

One of the best productions of this opera I have seen in North America. Striking design. Well done, all!

I danced in the morning When the world was begun, And I danced in the moon And the stars and the sun, And I came down from heaven And I danced on the earth, At Bethlehem I had my birth. Dance, then, wherever you may be, I am the Lord of the Dance, said he, And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be, And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said he I danced for the scribe And the pharisee, But they would not dance And they wouldn't follow me. I danced for the fishermen, For James and John They came with me And the Dance went on. Dance, then, wherever you may be, I am the Lord of the Dance, said he, And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be, And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said he I danced on the Sabbath And I cured the lame; The holy people Said it was a shame. They whipped and they stripped And they hung me on high, And they left me there On a Cross to die. Dance, then, wherever you may be, I am the Lord of the Dance, said he, And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be, And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said he I danced on a Friday When the sky turned black It's hard to dance With the devil on your back. They buried my body And they thought I'd gone, But I am the Dance, And I still go on. Dance, then, wherever you may be, I am the Lord of the Dance, said he, And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be, And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said he They cut me down And I leapt up high; I am the life That'll never, never die; I'll live in you If you'll live in me - I am the Lord Of the Dance, said he.

So fun!

So fun!

My mom was part of the volunteer group that got the Philadelphia group going. Jack would come and stay at our house while working on the production, and I sat curled up on his lap one day while he casted the children. She has at least five or six videos of productions from the late eighties and early nineties, and I keep meaning to tell her to get them formatted so that they can be uploaded, shown, archived, etc. Revels was like an essential part of my childhood, like soul food for a kid

When I was a kid, I went to revels almost every year in New York. Once I'm more settled down, I might see if I can't try out.

Rub-a-dub-dub- Three fools in a tub Au poil !!

The costumes are really bad and don't u think I don't no what I'm doing I'm jaffet in the piece and I've seen better!

Hello Sue, Thanks for posting this. Revels Forever!

I love this, thankyou for posting

brilliant. it's a shame they're in such a rush to get through the song, but it's brilliant nevertheless.

I wonder if you could post a complete version of this song, please. It is the version I would like to here.

Just saw the 2009 Revels show in the DC area. Absolutely unmissable. And now that I've found this video, I can practice singing the carol until I get it right for next year's program!

I was lucky to live in Portland for one year, and a friend took me over to volunteer on this show. It was AMAZING! I can't believe they're said to be amateur performers.

there is one in watertown though I would know seeing as I performed with them last week

i love love love love REVELS

Beautiful! I moved from New Engand to Australia in 1996 and the annual winter solstice Revels performance is one of the things I miss most.

I sung as Mrs Jaffett in Victorian Opera's production, I thought it was pretty good!

Oh gosh, Noye's Fludde!! I played the Ripieno Cello paret in this, and it was AWFUL!! One time I counted 268 bars rest at one point!

I am from Portland Oregon and the Christmas Revels is one of the greatest things we have for Christmas!! Thank you so much!
