A peaceful carol telling the Christmas story of the angels' visit to the shepherds. The simple but still jazz-inspired harmonies, unison sections and attractive melodies make this a very approachable but effective carol.

The sense of rare and beautiful magic encountered in the early verse of Yeats is perfectly captured in this setting of 'He wishes for the cloths of heaven' which, like the no less evocative texts selected by Warlock for The Curlew, is among the outstanding items from the early collection The Wind Among the Reeds. To the rich symbolism of the poet's work, smoothly euphonious and finely balanced choral harmonies add their own 'golden and silver light', making in words and music a sonorous image of the profound vision, part romance, part mystery, at the heart of this unique poem.

Constructed almost as a choral recitative and aria, the first section But He Was Pierced is unaccompanied. All We Like Sheep follows, with its jaunty changing meters and a keyboard accompaniment that could be done on piano or organ. These two short pieces were originally written to follow the composer's Surely He Has Borne Our Griefs (50-3105).
