Description:
This anthem for the Christmas season lends itself to smaller, community choirs. An original tune, RIVERWOOD, moves from unison statements—first by women’s voices, then by men’s—to a third verse of contrapuntal treatment by the altos and men grace by celestial “ahs” from the sopranos. Piano or organ quietly and aptly fill in the aural scene along with an optional flute.
