Ed Eicker has created a well-crafted Christmas anthem based on a French carol. The choral writing uses simple forces well, providing variety and interest while keeping the piece within the capabilities of a modest choir. The optional violin part contributes just the right amount of additional seasoning. From the sweet rocking of the repeated "sleep, sleep" to the buildup to the majestic "thousand seraphim and cherubim" at the end, your choir and congregation will cherish this fine addition to your Christmas repertoire.
