A cappella Right from the very beginning, you know this is going to be an exciting Christmas spiritual, and it doesn't disappoint you! The low voices get things rolling with an enthusiastic statement of the bass line that continues to lay down a solid rhythmic foundation almost all the way to the end, at which point an electrifying eight-measure coda brings the piece to a thrilling close! With no solos and no tempo changes, it will be a quick learn. This is first-rate writing for school or church choirs. Very effective!
