This delightful setting of the responsorial psalm for Christmas Mass during the Night will encourage everyone to join in the proclamation that our Savior is born. The refrain accompaniment is reminiscent of a tolling bell pattern, and the handbell part dances brightly above the sturdy melody. The tonality takes an interesting shift for the verses, and the choir has expressive melodies and varied textures for each verse. This setting feels and sounds like Christmas, and will stand the test of time.
