This evocative setting of Christina Rossetti's poem will quickly find a place in your repertoire for Christmas Eve and Christmastide. Treble voices and piano provide a crystalline winter backdrop for the lovely melody, which then appears in tenor and bass, leading to a warm a cappella verse, concluding with a blessing that descends through the inner voices. The piano interludes imitate the sound of the shepherd’s pipe. Easily and quickly learned during the busy Christmas season!
