Review:
Pepper Choplin’s creativity shines in this evocative intertwining of a 13th-century chant with one of the most popular carol tunes ever penned. Scored in C Major and Db Major, the music begins with the simple introduction of “Of the Father’s Love Begotten” over open fifths and flows in and out of counterpoint with “Silent Night, Holy Night.” This 91-measure piece would make an especially effective addition for Christmas Eve worship.
