4D Ecce Ancilla (from Magnificat)—Michael John
Lt Trotta. A simple prayer of a servant, this a cappella
work masterfully captures Mary's response to the
angel Gabriel. "Behold, I am the servant of the Lord.
May it be done to me according to your will." A
translation allows this work to be performed in Latin
or English.

Et in Terra Pax—John Purifoy. The angel's
powerful proclamation "peace on earth" is artfully
delivered in this unique choral for the holiday
season. Quiet echoes of "Glorias" and whispered
prayers for peace tie in beautifully with the
Christmas message. Highly expressive, this work is
a timely message that is meaningful for December

H Fantasia on Christmas Carols—Ralph Vaughan
Williams. A fantasia in the truest sense, this choral
tapestry of English carols was composed in 1912
after Vaughan Williams had completed the scores
for his first symphony (The Sea), and the Tallis
Fantasia. In this relatively short work for baritone
soloist, chorus and orchestra, we find the essence
of Vaughan Williams' style and compositional
mastery - hallmarks of a richly productive artistic
output that defined a nationalist movement in
music that continues to this day. Centered on four
traditional carols: The Truth Sent from Above; Come
All You Worthy Gentlemen; On Christmas Night and
There Is a Fountain, it also features fragments of
other well-known carol tunes.
