Cold by His Cradle the Dewdrops Are Shining

There is a pristine loveliness in this original setting of a classic Reginald Heber Christmas/Epiphany text. With shimmering harmonies, this unaccompanied gem shines with expressive potential. Well-considered part writing lends anorganic quality to the timbre of the piece and cradles the image-rich poetry with care. Brief in length, this choral carol makes an ideal addition to liturgical or concert programming.
