For Christmas Eve, New Pilgrim Path brings you a beautiful musical reflection based on a text from Isaiah. ‘The Virgin is with Child’ is by the American composer, Randal DeBruyn. This lovely piece is composed in the style of a Baroque aria, a solo voice accompanied by a guitar and a chorus singing the carol ‘Es ist ein Ros’. Listen at www.newpilgrimpath.ie.
Benjamin Britten’s ‘Ceremony of Carols’ is extraordinarily beautiful and deeply reverent. In our website of the week, it is done full justice by the St John’s Voices of St John’s College, Cambridge. What better way to celebrate Christmas Day than by praying with this sublime music? Access it, along with the accompanying lyrics, at www.newpilgrimpath.ie.
