Warland, Dale - Welcome All Wonders

No. 1 in Nativity Suite, the opening sounds of the instruments and voices in this setting are meant to invoke an air of mystery. The initial tone clusters, approached by layering the voice parts, should be presented very subtly, in order toenhance the intimacy and the veiled quality suited to this traditional liturgical. The “alleluias”, which reflect the significance of the Christmas Eve, should be joyful. Other movements include: O Magnum Mysterium (50600072), A Boy WasBorn (50600073).
