This Christmas text from the Orthodox liturgy has been masterfully set to music by John Karl Hirten. Written for a cappella SATB choir and 2 soprano solos the choir part acts as an accompaniment to the soprano solos. This Eastern Orthodox sounding piece with 20th century harmonization is both simple and thought-provoking.

DIFFICULTY: Medium/Difficult
