Composed by Ruth Morris Gray. Performance Music Ensemble; Single Titles. Alfred Choral Designs. Christmas; Sacred. Choral Octavo. 12 pages. Alfred Music #00-48332. Published by Alfred Music (AP.48332).

UPC: 038081551555. English. Christina Rossetti.

This rhythmic setting of the Christina Rossetti text is a truly unique approach. Set in a minor key with light syncopations, the triadic harmony quickly falls into place. Program as a processional and add the optional drum part to make the most of this singular seasonal song.

Choir Sacred (Women's Choir)

SKU: AP.45659

Performance Music Ensemble; Single Titles. Alfred Choral Designs. Sacred. Choral Octavo. 8 pages. Alfred Music #00-45659. Published by Alfred Music (AP.45659).

UPC: 038081513980. English. Victor C. Johnson.

A delicate piano introduction leads the listener to an elegant setting of Christina Rossetti's inquisitive poem. Well-conceived voice leading makes the fully realized choral harmony beautifully singable, and each voice part gets a turn with the celestial melody. Text painting, lyrical lines, warm suspensions, emotional range---it's all here, ready to amaze audiences and adjudicators.
