A unique selection, this work includes three pieces: We Look for You; The Year's Midnight and The Unexpected Early Hour, each based on an Indian classical raag or raga: Hamsadhwani, Malkauns, and Ahir Bhairav, respectively. The texts are linked to the Christian services of Evensong, Matins, and Lauds, and they reflect upon the Christmas story from the perspective of different times of day: evening, midnight, and daybreak. The first two pieces have a serene atmosphere that contrasts with the third, which uses an energetic compound time signature and bell-like melodic shapes.
