The fifth annual Toronto Mendelssohn Choir’s Choral Composition Competition asked composers to submit a sacred or secular a cappella work for the Christmas season. The 2019 winner was this spirited setting of the text of The Wexford Carol by Zachary Windus. The lyrics of this traditional Irish carol speak of the events immediately surrounding the birth of Jesus, while urging us to remember with joy the wondrous gift that God has given to the world.
