Once in royal David's City
SSATB M2010
This beloved Christmas carol begins with an ancient-sounding motive in the piano — a mixed modal, ethereal fragment that richly underscores the poetic narrative of Christ’s humble birth.

Ideal for any Christmas worship setting, this deeply moving arrangement offers choirs a fresh and memorable take on a timeless favorite.
