« In paradisum: a brief contemplation of the Gregorian chant | Main | It Fell Upon the High Midnight »
Setting a text from St. Martin-in-the-Fields, this high energy anthem is highly rhythmic and syncopated, and features this refrain: "Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Gloria in excelsis Deo." Verses (in English) are very conscious of taking Jesus' message of love, justice, and peace to the whole world.
