Reviews:

Samuel H. Miller’s poem is dramatically stated by Perera within contemporary sonorities. An independent organ part elevates itself as an equal to the more chordal lines. Organist as well as singers should be experienced in this Christmas work. Recommended for the better adult church choirs.
