From the enigmatic title to its final whispered cries, this anthem reminds us of the journey from manger to cross. Told within the context of a Marian lullaby, the story moves through three scenes in the life of Jesus. The ancient COVENTRY CAROL forms the musical foundations of this lament, moving with pristine beauty in uncluttered textures and rich harmonies. For moments of Christmas contemplation or even Lenten communion, this piece will leave a lasting impression on your people. An instant classic!
