HURON CAROL
SATB or SSAA a cappella | text by Jesse Edgar Middleton
Evocative and beautiful, this traditional carol resets the Nativity story in the wilds of Canada, where "within a lodge of broken bark the tender babe was found; a ragged robe of rabbit skin enwrapp'd His beauty round."
My setting captures the cold majesty of the frozen landscape, as 'chiefs from far' bring gifts of fox and beaver pelt.
