Review:
This joyous Christmas spiritual takes on new life and energy in Lloyd Larson’s gospel setting for 3-5 octave choirs. Rich sonorities and various stopped techniques, along with syncopated rhythms, are employed throughout to enhance the interest for both ringers and listeners. This is a fresh addition to any Christmas worship or concert setting and certain to become a perennial favorite. 76 measures in length, this piece is scored in Eb Major and F Major.
