Review:
Joel Raney’s setting of Michael W. Smith’s mega-hit Christmas song was commissioned by The Agape Ringers in loving memory of Debbie Perisho, who was with the ensemble for 13 years before losing her battle to cancer. This powerful setting beautifully expresses the message that in both life and death, all is well. 131 measures. Keys of C Major, F Major, and Ab Major.
