Annunciation Carol

This sprightly carol is based on the anonymous text: Nova nova ave fit ex Eva. It is set in a 6/8 meter and the verses throughout are in English. The story of the Annunciation is told musically with changes of meter and harmony all the while retaining the joyous spirit of the opening. Rich harmonies for full choir alternate with phrases for men and women. This carol would be a great addition to the repertory for carol services as well as the Feast of the Annunciation.
