Synopsis

for SATB unaccompanied This warm and expressive carol sets a Christmas poem by English poet U. A. Fanthorpe that centres on the moment of Christ's birth. Fleeting unisons call the listener's attention to the focal point of the text, the 'moment', and the rich, luminous harmonies create a sense of wonder at this momentous event.
