For SATB Voices and Keyboard with Opt. C Instrument and String Quarter
By Michael Mahler and Tyler Flannigan Harris
The winning young team of Michael Mahler and Tyler Flannigan Harris has come up with a gleaming, contemporary definition of Christmas in sound and image.
This haunting choral piece evokes mystery with a rich, complex blues motif soundscape.
And the text offers an unusual twist that the Child be born in each and everyone of us: "We are the child and he's here in our hearts."
Parts for string quartet and solo C instrument would give this piece an even more amazing interpretation of that first dark Christmas Eve.
Very cool!
