Wexford Carl
Publisher Desc.
The Wexford Carol is among the most beautiful of all Christmas carols and
is thought to be one of the oldest still sung today. The text presents a
moving account of the Savior's birth, beginning with Mary and Joseph finding
nowhere to stay in Bethlehem and ending with the Christ child's birth. Set in
the mixolydian mode, the carol's tender, haunting melody is accompanied in
this arrangement by chamber orchestra, painting an awe-inspiring picture of
the first Christmas night.
