Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Yes it's known as Christmas Oratorio / Weihnachtsoratorium"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Annoyingly it's billed in Wiki as Die Hirten an d. Krippe zu Bethlehem, Oratorium, 1794
His teacher Albrechtsberger apparently said Eybler was the "greatest musical genius in Vienna apart from Mozart" which must have pleased Salieri no end.
And to think: I'd never heard of him till setting this question.
Thanks, Alphabet Associations!
Would you care to F off, mercia?
