A central movement from Norman’s Requiem for the Innocents, written to honour children who have died in violence, this setting of the most comforting verses of the New Testament brings hope to the weary and lost.
Composer Norman Gabriel Nurmi, whose compositions cross all sacred and secular genres, with soprano Catherine Morrow for whom he writes many beautiful pieces.
Our title tune for good reason – this is truly a modern classic – finding hope, peace, and love under the Bethlehem sky. Catherine has the solo tune and Susan Suchard soars gloriously on the descant.
