This joyful Christmas acclamation is a festive flourish based on the famed VESPER HYMN. The essence of the melodic gesture is a carillon-like theme that invites joy and celebration. A contrasting middle section in 12/8 is a creative moment, giving the pianist a moment to shine. Add the regal brass and sparkling handbells to this selection, perfect for both concert and sanctuary usage. Majestic!
