With a gently swaying organ accompaniment and the soprano voice entering in a tender fashion Chris Artley transports the listener to Christ’s Birth in Bethlehem. The angelic female voices ultimately ring out the joyous news that animates the male voices to sing a shared “In excelsis Gloria Deo”. The cheerful atmosphere of this choral piece transports the singers and audience alike to the manger in Bethlehem and helps each and every one to participate in the Christmas joy of the adoring shepherds and singing angels.
