for solo organ
The work is divided into seven sections, each reflecting a different verse of the hymn text. Musical styles vary between movements, making the work an interesting recital piece. Individual sections can also be performed liturgically. The piece is of moderate difficulty.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
This set of six variations on Scheidt's Christmas carol. A Child is Born in Bethlehem, won the AGO's Region VII Composition Competition in 2005. It more than fills the competition requirements. The melody is recognizable in each movement, which makes it ideal for church or recital. A fine addition to Christmas organ music. * The American Organist, November 07 *
