"Macy's Window (Christmas in New York)," a new holiday song featuring Anthony Kearns, a world-renowned tenor and member of the PBS super-group, The Irish Tenors, is now available for download on Apple iTunes.
The song, which recalls the international appeal and magic of Macy's window displays at its flagship Herald Square store in New York City, speaks to the beauty and childlike wonder of the Christmas season.
"This year has been difficult for so many. It is my hope that this new song about the splendor of Macy's 34th Street window displays will help rekindle the joy of the season in the hearts of New Yorkers and kindred spirits around the world," said Mr. Kearns.
"Macy's famed holiday window displays, anchored by their internationally televised Thanksgiving Day Parade, have been a staple of the holiday season, capturing the imaginations of children (and adults) throughout the world," he said.
Mr. Kearns' beautiful voice is accompanied by Niall Kinsella (piano), Colin Farrell (fiddle and low whistle) and the choir of St. Joseph's Girls National School (Finglas West, Dublin), creating a "nostalgic tune that will tug on heartstrings," said Kearns' agent and publicist, Kirsten A. Fedewa.
Lyrics for "Macy's Window (Christmas in New York)" were created by Brendan Graham, an Irish songwriter and novelist known for winning the Eurovision Song Contest for Ireland twice, with the songs "Rock 'n' Roll Kids" and "The Voice." Graham is most known for writing the lyrics to "You Raise Me Up" which became an international hit covered by many famous artists including Kearns and American singer Josh Groban.
Kearns said he will debut the new song during a livestream Christmas concert with The Irish Tenors, available to world-wide audiences on Dec. 19, 23, and 27, 2020. For ticket information about The Irish Tenors concert, filmed at the US Ambassador's Residence in Dublin, Ireland, visit here.
