A very simple setting of the well know advent choral based on the "O Antiphons". I have included two settings, one for mixed choir and one for equal voices. These two settings should be sung alternatingly.
Sources for text and melody can be found in Douglas D. Anderson's collection "A Treasury of Christmas Carols: The Hymns and Carols of Christmas".
