Diane Hannibal has written a beautiful Christmas lyric and paired it with the well-known folk tune, Star of the County Down. In Brad Nix's arrangement, the beauty of the Christmas story comes to life in a new and fresh way. Opening with a haunting choral introduction, the verses tell of the holy couple's journey to the stable in Bethlehem, and the star that led the shepherds to the Child. Following a majestic section in F minor, the piece reprises the opening introductory material, giving the final measures a sense of mystery and awe.
