About the piece

“O great mystery,
and wonderful sacrament,
that animals should see the new-born Lord,
lying in a manger.
Blessed is the Virgin whose womb was worthy
To bear Jesus Christ the Lord.
Alleluia.”

Sparkling dissonances and medieval inspired open harmonies express the yearning, longing, and magic of the Christmas season.
