Opening with a reminder of the story of Gabriel's visit to Mary, the text of this anthem gains new life when paired with a beautiful Catalonian carol. Written for two-part voices, the music was composed sensitively for men's and women's voices, especially in the elegant third stanza. Ideal for choirs of all levels and sizes, and especially suitable for older youth choirs just learning to sing in parts. A wonderful selection for Christmas services, Advent, Annunciation and hymn festivals.
