With words by the composer, this tender piece expresses gratitude and awe for the redeeming power of the Christ-child. Replete with rich contrasting harmonies, the changing metre and effective phrasing build anticipation before the piece resolves into serenity.

Über Autor(innen)

British composer and pianist Will Todd has worked at the Royal Opera House, the Lincoln Center in New York, London's Barbican, and with Welsh National Opera, award-winning choirs The Sixteen, BBC Singers, and Tenebrae. He travels extensively world-wide, workshopping with choirs, and conducting performances of his works. Will's music is valued for its melodic intensity and harmonic skill, often incorporating jazz colours, and his choral music is much in demand from
amateur as well as professional performers. He is best-known for his choral works, and his jazz-inspired Mass in Blue has been performed hundreds of times since its premiere in 2003. This has been followed by his critically acclaimed Passion Music. His anthem, The Call of Wisdom, was commissioned for
HRH The Queen's Diamond Jubilee service at Westminster Abbey.
