About the Score

Love Came Down at Christmas is the second of the Two Carol-Lullabies I composed in 2018, on poems by Christina Rossetti. It's a lullaby with a gentle swing and a very endearing character, with a structure in three sections. After an introduction with descending melodies like winter snowflakes, the first section takes place, with a decisive and optimistic theme in E flat major. The second part modulates to G flat major, with the theme in the Altos. The third section, re- exposed and in the main key, starts with some soft counterpoints in Altos and Tenors in the manner of a small, graceful and intimate dance. The work gains in expressiveness and emotion, concluding the section with a very warm Baritone melody. The score ends with the repetition of the beginning, this time as a coda, with the descending drawing of the voices always present.

Love Came Down at Christmas was released by NEOVOCALIS on December 27, 2020 within the CHRISTMAS EVE project, conducted by myself.
