A lovely choral setting of a poem by Edward Elgar's wife Alice, describing a Christmas scene in England and reminding us of love's power to bring us together. This edition can be sung as originally written by Elgar (SA voices, 2 violins, and piano) or with lower voices added (as Elgar included in later editions). Optional viola and cello parts are also offered. This tender holiday concert opener is rich in Edwardian musical colors. |
