Kevin Boesiger has created a wonderful anthem that combines a Scripture-based lyric with original musical material and two well-known Christmas melodies (CAROL and KINGS OF ORIENT). The quickly moving music is set in the minor mode and creates a wash of mysterious sound. The accompaniment features a variety of interesting keyboard textures, and an optional oboe part adds to the evocative nature of the anthem. The part-writing is very practical and the artful use of repetition will aid in the learning process.
