There is an incredible singability to this happy anthem celebrating the miracle of Christ's birth. It is scored for 2-part mixed voices but sounds very rich in texture due to some very clever layering of the voices by DavidLantz. The largely pentatonic nature of the melody further eases learning time. Fresh!
