Review:
The charm and grace of David Meece's contemporary Christmas classic shine through in Lloyd Larson's choral setting. Larson offers a 3-5 octave handbell accompaniment and a new SAB choral voicing. The handbell setting can stand alone without voices. The poetic images and haunting melody are beautifully woven into a gently flowing, richly satisfying, artistic musical fabric. Arranged in e minor and f minor, measures total 65.
