night, angels are singing as they are taking
flight, and all are invited to greet the new baby
in a stable in Bethlehem." Tenderly tucked in
the middle of this piece is the traditional Welsh
carol All Through the Night, giving the listener a
taste of the familiar within this stunning original.
An elegant piano accompaniment supports this
memorable piece which is equally suitable for
school or church settings.
