From the Royal School of Church Music series this is an excellent setting of the anonymous early American prayer often associated with Christmas. For unison adult sopranos or advanced children’s voices the elegant, sophisticated writing gives arching and expressive attention to this truly unusual text. It would work equally well for piano or organ with manuals and limited pedal underpinning.
