Boosey and Hawkes

collapse expand iconDescription

This is a contemporary setting of the traditional Vespers antiphon for Christmas Eve, Hodie Christus natus est. The African and jazz influences found in this score were inspired by the composer's experiences in Ghana. Written for SSA choir, piano and Djembe(the Djembe is improvised and no part is included), this setting captures the multicultural spirit of the song. ScorePlay - click to view score with recording.
