Description
for SATB and piano or brass and percussion This gentle and enchanting carol, set to a poem by Elizabeth Jennings, began life as the fourth movement of Chilcott's Christmas cantata, 'And Peace on Earth'. Chilcott's sublime melodic writing and subtle harmonic shifts capture perfectly both the naivety and wisdom reflected in Jennings' text. This is classic Chilcott; a beautiful and approachable carol. Instrumental parts for both the full cantata and this movement are available on hire.
