'Twas in a Lowly Stable

Uses: Christmas, Epiphany

Scripture: Luke 2:1-7

The beauty of the unadorned human voice is on display in this new setting of a traditional French carol. Beginning in unison, the harmonies groworganically into a vast array of colors yet the linear voice leading is enabling for groups of many levels. Repetition further helps quick learning. The text is a true carol not only telling the nativity story but alsoforeshadowing Christ's redemptive mission. Duration: ca. 3:00.
