For SATB and piano With a text by the composer, this declamatory Christmas piece provides a fresh take on the nativity story. The cacophony of choral sound in the polyphonic middle section is akin perhaps to the angelic announcement of Jesus's birth, leading to an emphatic closing proclamation 'Gloria! in excelsis Deo!'.
