A wonderfully expressive a cappella setting of the traditional Christmas text. Carefully prepared dissonances and use of close harmonies thoughtfully paint the text as a sense of awe and wonder permeate the setting. The work concludes with the opening material sung on Alleluia with a soaring soprano descant. May be performed in English or Latin.
