What a wonderful surprise for the last day of Chanukah! Though you must have meant it for a more Christian purpose. I will always remember the antphonies of this first movement when I was in Zamir Chorale as a college sophomore. I am disappointed at the lack of a boy soprano in the second movement - but the soprano's voice is beautiful indeed.
