This powerful contemporary Christmas ballad has been recorded by numerous artists over the past decades, varying from Pentatonix to Kenny Rodgers, and seems to increase in popularity each year. This classic arrangement has perfectly captured the epic drama of the text, pondering the baby's purpose on earth. The medium-voice solo, high/medium duet, and vocal trio are each in D minor and are compatible with the choral octavo, the orchestral accompaniment, the handbell accompaniment, and the P/A CD. The low-voice solo is in a different key and is not compatible with the others.
