Of the Father's Love Begotten—arr.
Christopher Walker. With a flexible voicing, this
lovely arrangement of the well-known hymn
tune
DIVINUM MYSTERIUM is ideal for smaller
choirs. Because it is set in a compound meter
rather than the equal note values of traditional
plainchant, there is a fluid, lilting quality that is
easy to learn. The keyboard accompaniment
works equally well for piano or organ, and
parts are included for two solo instruments. An
enjoyable arrangement of a Christmas classic.

meld perfectly with the beloved carol melody
and culminate in an ending of quiet splendor.
