This gentle carol set to a beautiful text by Elizabeth Jennings reflects upon the birth of Christ and the coming New Year. In a simple setting Chilcott perfectly captures the warmth of the season the wonder of this child's birth and the significance of his coming into the world.

A charming and straightforward setting for Upper Voices and Piano of a poetic text by Sabine Baring-Gould this delightful carol is characterized by a simple and effective melody. The voices are in unison for much of the piece dividing in the latter part to proclaim the marvel of Christ's birth. Bob Chilcott's The Angel Gabriel is for upper voices (SS) with piano accompaniment.
