Donna Ulisse and her band The Poor Mountain Boys performing Morning in Bethlehem in her 2013 Stageit Concert from Catch This Music Studio in Nashville, TN. The song is from Donna's landmark Christmas CD ALL THE WAY TO BETHLEHEM telling the story of the birth of Christ from the perspective of all of the characters involved.

Although inspired by the Biblical accounts of Christ's birth, Donna Ulisse's All the Way to Bethlehem is not a "Christmas album" in any conventional sense of the term. Rather, it is a dramatic story told in song—much like such other Bible-based musical productions as Jesus Christ Superstar and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

In All the Way to Bethlehem, we listen in to a drama told through many voices, all of them resounding with wonder. There is Joseph, puzzled by circumstances, daunted by responsibilities, yet resolutely determined to do the right thing; Elisabeth, Mary's much older cousin who also miraculously conceives a child; the compassionate but overburdened Innkeeper, who reluctantly tells the desperate young couple, "You cannot stay here."; the Star of Bethlehem, beaming with its own importance; and, always and eternally, Mary, herself, who, while accepting the awful divine destiny of her newborn son, must in those first tender moments with him marvel, rejoice and dream as any mother would. It is a triumphant story vividly told.
