Pairing the joyful French traditional carol, "Angels We Have Heard
on High," with the chorale tune "How Brightly Shines the Morning
Star", "And Glory Shone Around" is an ideal selection to open
a holiday concert.
A resounding opening allegro featuring brass fanfares, rapid woodwind
scales, percussive punctuations and the melismatic "Gloria" evokes
"the glory of the Lord [that] shone around" and the "multitude
of the heavenly host praising God," according to the gospel of
Luke.
A softer andante, featuring the "Morning Star" chorale, evokes
the quiet peace and humble surroundings of the Holy Child, "wrapped ...
in swaddling cloths and laid ... in a manger." This chorale builds in
intensity before giving way to a recapitulation of the opening allegro, with
key change, that powerfully concludes the piece.
