for SATB choir unaccompanied
This imaginative setting of the well-loved text O little town of Bethleham, by Phillips Brooks, displays McGlade's characteristic rich and expressive harmonies, with their jazz inflections. Opening with a plaintive two-part harmony for upper voices, the scoring expands into lush four- and five-part textures. McGlade uses swelling dynamics, legato vocal lines, and freely changing metre. O little town of Bethlehem would be a superb choice for Christmas services and concerts.
