More about the book
The composition features a unique blend of poetry and biblical text, merging Robert Bridges' "Noel: Christmas Eve 1913" with Luke 2: 8-14. Finzi presents the birth of Christ as a vision experienced by a wanderer on a cold Christmas Eve, reflecting his pacifist beliefs and the hope for harmonious coexistence among good-willed individuals. The music incorporates three central themes: the joyful sound of bells, a phrase from "The First Nowell," and the Hallelujah refrain from "Lasst uns erfreuen," creating a miniature masterpiece that resonates with profound messages.
