While Britten and Auden were living in the United States Auden wrote the text for a Christmas Oratorio which he later re-titled For the Time Being. It was always intended that Britten would set the poem to music. In the end, however, Britten returned to the UK and only set two brief portions of the text when asked to contribute to a BBC radio programme called A Poet's Christmas. Britten then set the Shepherd's Carol and Chorale after an Old French Carol. Auden had remarked that the text for The Shepherd's Carol should be set as either 'jazz or Folk-song'. Britten's rather lovely easygoing setting seems to show that he had listened to Auden's advice. The format of this beautifully simple carol is a repeated refrain sung by the choir. 'O lift your little pinkie, and touch the winter sky. interspersed by a verse each for the four soloists. It is one of Britten's most touchingly direct settings. It seems odd that he chose to withdraw it after its first performance. Duration. 4 minutes. Paul Spicer, Lichfield, 2011.

Britten dan stel die Shepherd's Carol en Chorale na 'n Oud-Frans Carol. Auden het opgemerk dat die teks vir die Herder se Carol moet ingestel word as óf 'jazz of Folk-liedjie ". Britten se pragtige rustige omgewing eerder lyk om te wys dat hy Auden se raad geluister het. Die formaat van hierdie pragtige eenvoudige lied is 'n herhaalde refrein gesing deur die koor.
