Written by the Christian poet Coelius Sedulius (c. 450) and translated by Rev. John Ellerton (1826-93), this is a not-so-well-known Christmas carol - although it is published in many hymnals, I don't recall ever hearing it sung in a carol service.
I wrote the melody and a basic piano accompaniment in the 1980s, and have been working on a jazzy arrangement over the past 5 or so years.
In 2019, From East to West was premiered by St Michael's Blackheath Singers at the carol service on Sunday 22nd December. In November 2020 we recorded the vocals, and it is now available on all the usual digital stores.
