This is a new setting of the famous words by Christina Rossetti (1830-1894) and it is in 5/8 time. Singers will easily get into the habit of thinking this is terms of three beats followed by two beats. The setting follows the format of the original poem and there is a short, easy-to-sing a cappella section in the middle. Its scored for SSA choir with keyboard accompaniment. The piano part is of medium difficulty. This piece will be a popular addition to your Nativity play or Christmas services. If you like this choral piece, you might also be interested in the other Colin Kirkpatrick Nativity Anthems in this SSA series (also available for SATB): "And a Star is Shining in the East", "See this Little Town", "While Shepherds Watched their Flocks by Night", "I Saw Three Ships", "Sing! For a Boy has been Born" and "Rejoice and Sing on Christmas Morn". In the audio recording, soprano 1 is played by flute, soprano 2 by oboe and alto by clarinet (Duration 03:00)
