Review:
This wonderful partner song opens with an inspired new melody that gently paints the scene in Bethlehem on that first Christmas Eve long ago. References to the beloved “Still, Still, Still” foretell the carol’s appearance in a lush new harmonization. Then the carol and new melody partner to create an unforgettable Christmas lullaby. Offered in either SATB or two-part mixed voicings, it also boasts optional handbells or handchimes. An ideal choice for a Christmas Eve service, this anthem is set in C and Db Majors and is 79 measures. The handbell part is available for free download on Lorenz's website, www.lorenz.com.
