Hinshaw Music
HMC1310, SATB, unaccompanied voices, $2.55

A wonderful a cappella setting of the Christina Rosetti text, set in a pensive minor key and homophonic chord structure. Lush harmonies, suspensions intermixed with haunting unison sections, make this a lovely contrasting piece to the more joyous, traditional carols. Introspective in text and choral texture, this is for the advanced college or church choir.
