Work introduction
Originally written at the request of the Director of Music at Arundel Cathedral, this work is a setting of the words of the prophet Micah, as written in the Old Testament, as he reveals the coming importance of the little town of Bethlehem in Judah. The words are both striking and stirring as a heraldic statement for the advent and Christmas season. The words are set in Latin, with a translation provided and the piece is suitable for a mixed choir/choral society to perform on a concert stage or as part of a religious service at a Church.
