Infant Holy Infant Lowly

Two different a cappella arrangements of the beloved Polish carol Infant Holy, Infant Lowly. The "Soulful Close Harmony" version is caressed with folk inflections and pentatonic embellishments. The "Classical Chorale" version contains rich inner voices and poignant suspensions.

 

In both arrangements the traditional English lyrics by Edith M. Reid are followed by an original third verse which speaks to the blessing ushered forth by all births.
