English. Text by Rory
Cooney.
While the
tune is based on a
traditional Czech carol,
this is one of Rory
Cooney’s most
powerful original texts.
The piece would make a
stunning Communion
meditation, evoking
images of joy at the
infant Savior’s
birth, while
foreshadowing his
sacrifice so that we
might eat of the Living
Bread. The piano provides
support for the choral
parts, but the piece may
be sung a cappella, or,
if circumstances allow,
the use of the optional
string quartet will add
to the warmth expressed
in the words and harmony
of the singers. String
Quartet or Keyboard
accompaniment.
