The Christmas story, as related in the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 2, is the only Biblical account of Christ's birth that mentions the Star of Bethlehem. "For we have seen his star in the East," the wise men say in verse 2, "and are come to worship him." What a "signum mirabile" that sighting must have seemedwhat a "wonderful sign!" This work, adopting the name Signum mirabile, for tenor soloist, SATB chorus and orchestra, traces the wise men as they follow the star with great hope, first to Jerusalem, then through their troubling encounter with King Herod, and finally on to Bethlehem and the Christ child. The chorus and soloist tell the story according to Matthew's unique account, while the orchestra lends color and drama. At the journey's end, the music breaks forth with Martin Luther's joyful nativity hymn, "From heaven above to earth I come." A fitting new cantata for the Christmas season! (Duration 10')
