for SATB (with some divisions) unaccompanied Mark's Sirett's setting of these anonymous words has a magical quality that is most attractive to singers and listeners alike. The soprano(s) announce the main tune before it is taken up by the full choir. It will provide a useful 'sorbet' in a rich Advent Carol Service.

Reviews
Written ten years ago, Canadian Mark Sirett's setting of an evocative anonymous poem is already popular in North America. Church Music Society has now made it available in the UK.
