Scripture: II Corinthians 9:15; John 1:14; Matthew 1:21; Psalm 126:3
A lesser-known Christina Rossetti Christmas poem is gently caressed in this engaging anthem. An expressive theme rises and falls with elegant contours, delivering this classic poetry with great sensitivity. Each verse ends with a soaring gesture of "Alleluia, Christ the Lord is born," crowning the carol with hope and joy. The piano writing is exquisite and a perfect partner for this peaceful seasonal berceuse.
