Gustav Holst's and Christina Rossetti's classic Christmas hymn is wonderfully arranged by Mark Shepperd. The mood of the text is conveyed quite well through the music, with contrasting sections of rich textures and stark accompaniments. The optional parts for oboe and chamber orchestra give both an opportunity to utilize this as a large-scale piece or as a simple keyboard and choir presentation for your Christmas worship.
