Comment(s):
This marvelous poetry is by award-winning Canadian poet, Wendy Jean MacLean, who also provided the fascinating text for Sirett's “The Stars Point the Way” (SSA and Piano #48022975) which was awarded “Outstanding Composition” from Choral Canada in 2010. Based on traditional and contemporary thought on the nativity, linking together both sacred and secular images of the Christmas celebrations. The eternal themes of Christmas are proclaimed: peace, justice, wonder, hope, love...and home.
