Review:
A unique interpretation on the traditional hymn tune, this arrangement's haunting opening melody immediately elicits vivid imagery of shepherds traversing a cold, dark night to see the newborn King. It builds triumphantly to the moment when they reach the manger and ends softly. After all, we wouldn't want to wake the baby! 107 measures. Keys of e minor, f minor, and F Major.
