Par HAWES PATRICK. The Nativity is a collection of six carols with brand-new texts by Patrick’s brother. Three of these – The Infant, The Shepherds and The Magi – which are more upbeat in nature, follow the structure of verse and chorus and intersperse themselves with the more reflective poetry of The Manger, The Oxen and The Star, thereby providing a sense of overall momentum and contrast.
The Manger, The Oxen and The Star are all relatively static elements of the nativity story, demanding a more meditative approach to tempo, atmosphere and structure whereas The Infant, The Shepherds and The Magi are each about human protagonists, full of the Holy Spirit and the wonder and excitement which accompanies new life.
As a whole, they make an effective collection for concert performance but are also designed for individual use within the context of a Christmas service. / Date parution : 2024-01-06/ Recueil / Choeur SATB sans Accompagnement
