Michael Cox has arranged his madrigal-like carol for SSAA voices. Lilting Alleluia refrains contrast with introspective verses that are a perfect vehicle for the thought-provoking imagery of poet Paulann Canty. Repeated musical material makes the piece easy to learn, so that rehearsal time can be spent on a flexible and sensitive performance. SATB and TTBB voicings also available. Duration 2:30.
