| SATB | 3' 12" | English ⋅ Latin | The words of this carol/motet are well-known from Britten’s teenage tour-de-force, but that double-chorus setting is out of the reach of most church choirs.

The work is suitable for concert performance, as well as for liturgical use […] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
