For SATB Voices, a cappella
Music by Ronan McDonagh
Words by Michael V. Gannon
This classic Advent–Christmas text gets a new lift with a lilting Celtic feel of a tin whistle.
Written for a cappella SATB voices, care should be taken to observe the slow and deliberate tempo marking in order to allow smooth maneuvering of its characteristic turns and syncopations.
Its very short two verses would make a lovely seasonal interlude.
