Product Overview
This brief, simple work was originally written for a service of Lessons and Carols. The text is taken from Martin Luther’s “A Hymn for Children at Christmas,”and this beautiful setting reflects the simplicity and tenderness of Luther’s message.
To Us This Night is Born a Child is only two minutes long, but fits nicely into a series of lessons and carols. Sopranos and altos sing the first verse as the angels announce the birth of Jesus; tenors and basses sing the second, as the shepherds make their way to the stable; and the concluding verse is sung by full choir unaccompanied.
Both singers and listeners will find the message of the text effectively reflected in this beautiful musical setting.
