Voicing: SSATBB, a cappella
Craig Courtney, Composer
From his "Trilogy for the Christ Child" (10/1820R), Craig Courtney's setting of this distinguished text evoking the pastoral ambience of the first Christmas Eve is an exquisite musical portrayal of the awe and serenity of that holy night. Lyrical melodic lines and warm harmonies are as mesmerizing as the scene itself.
