Quiet introduction with angelic women's chorus leads into Tenor Solo treatment of "O Holy Night" (with extensive choral participation), a transition piece on the text 'gloria in excelsis Deo' featuring the children, and finally a bold, brash arrangement of "Angels We Have Heard on High" that drives to a powerful, rhythmic ending.
