Music > Bethelehem Skyline by Downhere, Jaime Jamgochian, Circleslide, Jason Gray & Daniel Kirkley Writer: Annabelle Ang-Bok Bethlehem Skyline. Downhere, Jaime Jamgochian, Circleslide, Jason Gray & Daniel Kirkley (Centricity Records, 2007) An intriguing collaboration by a group of contemporary artistes presenting captivating originals as well as fascinating new arrangements of well-known pieces, Bethlehem Skyline makes an excellent addition to any Christmas music collection. The theme appears to be "Unabashed celebration of Jesus". Traditional favourites like O Come, O Come, Emmanuel are given a pop/rock feel and infused with a joyous sense of freedom, and originals like How Many Kings unreservedly declare the true meaning of Christmas: How many kings step down from their thrones? How many lords have abandoned their homes? How many greats have become the least for me? How many gods have poured out their hearts To romance a world that is all torn apart How many fathers gave up their sons for me? Definitely a clarion call to come and worship the King!
