These settings of Christmas poetry by Gwendolyn Carr were premiered by the Gordon College Choir.
The Annunciation
“Silver strands from angel’s lips burned sterling news in Mary’s heart, and fanned the flame of hope for all the world.”
Gwendolyn Carr’s words meditate on the profundity of the Annunciation and paint a vivid image of the manger scene with angels above. This lush a capella setting by Ian Good traverses the intimacy, power and universality of this moment.
