This simple, short four-part setting of Rorate caeli — the introit for the Fourth Sunday of Advent — captures both the hope and intimacy traditionally associated with this particular season of the Church Year. With its haunting, cascading phrases, it is a valuable addition to the Advent repertoire. The introit can be sung liturgically but would also make a beautiful contribution to an Advent or a Christmas concert, its warm harmonies leading the listener from darkness to the light-filled spirit of Christmas.
