This singular selection is a study in contrasts as it takes us from Bethlehem to Calvary. Through the angelic experience we sense the powerful emotion of Passiontide. The innocent qualities of the melody and the pure transparent textures of the piano add to the haunting effect. Easily learned, this anthem leaves time to master phrasing, expression and purity of tone.
