*Alternate Lever Harp part available

Performance Notes:This piece could be performed with some simple staging, perhaps with the Mary and Joseph soloists entering from one side or the other of the

performance space, or with the two soloists placed in front of the choir itself, perhaps making use of some dramatic gestures. The Harp/Piano part provides both texture and atmosphere and is an important part of the overall texture.
