Patrick Shepherd

Year: 1991, r. 2004
for SATB choir

Programme Note

Composed in 1991 for the Christ’s College Chapel Choir, this work has been performed many times by the choir and, coincidentally, was toured by and broadcast on Concert FM by the choir of Christ’s College, Oxford (UK) when they visited New Zealand in the mid 1990s. It captures the true flavour of Christmas and has an ethereal quality, incorporating elements of plainchant in the final section. The score was revised in 2004 but only in terms of editorial and technical additions.
