This choral piece ranks among the most popular Christmas songs in the English-speaking world. Gustav Holst set these verses by the British poet Christina Rossetti for the English hymnbook at the beginning of the 20th century. Rossetti relocated her narrative of the manger scene into a frosty winter landscape that Holst fashioned in a simple strophic song in a homophonic setting. Clear melodic lines and a simple yet effective harmony characterize Holst's composition and create a nostalgic picture of Christmas. A truly classical choral piece for Christmas.
