Boosey & Hawkes The Virgin Mary Had a Baby Boy

This arrangement explores the Caribbean sty;e known as Afro-Cuban: independent melodic lines with strong rhythmic pulses are superimposed to build up textures that are both rich and translucent. Every section of the choir is spot-lit; every section gets its turn to lead. The piece would especially suit a choir in search of something seasonal but upbeat which is not a novelty number. (3:05)
