From Austria comes this traditional carol, sung to a tune similar to the old English "We Wish You a Merry Christmas." As with such other carols as "Angels We Have Heard on High," "Angels from the Realms of Glory" and "While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night," the song tells the story of the Nativity from the point of view of the shepherds near Bethlehem who follow the path of the star, hear the angels proclaim the birth of the newborn King and finally see the Infant in His manger-throne.(+) From Austria comes this traditional carol, sung to a tune similar to the old English "We Wish You a Merry Christmas."

Although this piece was originally written for Chorus, I arranged it for String Quintet (2 Violins, 2 Violas & Cello).
