In setting this, one of the most well-known and well-loved Christmas carols, I wanted to use the lesser-known Normandy tune that is associated with the text. The haunting minor melody of this tune fits the quiet nature of the text beautifully. Because of the changing perspective in the third verse textmoving from an observational narrative to a personal supplicationI decided to transition into the tune by William Bradbury, a tune that begins as a parallel major restatement of the Normandy text.
