Composer’s note A Christmas Meditation was originally written as underscoring for a reading of the Biblical account of the Nativity (Luke 2: 1, 3–14). In the tradition of incidental music, this piece may be used in a variety of ways, including as a processional, as a transition between other works, or as background for spoken words and images. Based on William J. Kirkpatrick’s ‘CRADLE SONG’, the choral writing recalls Puccini’s ‘Coro a bocca chiusa’ from Madama Butterfly, another work in which a mother’s hope for the future of her child is expressed in the simple act of humming. online perusal only
