Review:
A sequence of mysterious opening chords give way to a melancholy setting of this beautiful Appalachian carol. A middle iteration of the melody accompanied by malleted bass chords and shifting time signatures provides textural and aural interest before a return to the opening feeling once more. Perfect for a quiet, reflective moment in worship or concert during the holidays! Keys of c minor and e minor. 111 measures.
