Composed by Michael Mahler and Tyler Flannigan Harris. Christmastide, Christmas Vigil, Christmas Night. Christmas. Sacred. Octavo. 8 pages. GIA Publications #6042. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-6042).English.
The winning young team of Michael Mahler and Tyler Flannigan Harris has come up with a gleaming, contemporary definition of Christmas in sound and image. This haunting choral piece evokes mystery with a rich, complex blues motif soundscape. And the text offers an unusual twist that the Child be born in each and everyone of us: “We are the child and he’s here in our hearts.” Parts for string quartet and solo C instrument would give this piece an even more amazing interpretation of that first dark Christmas Eve. Very cool!
