Love Came Down at Christmas

受英国广播公司音乐杂志委托，亚历山大-埃斯特朗奇将克里斯蒂娜-罗塞蒂的经典诗歌改编成《爱在圣诞降临》，令人叹为观止。乐曲以简单的strophic形式反映了直接、真诚和富有表现力的文本，第二节的旋律由男低音负责，而女高音则提供了天使般的吟唱。齐奏的尾声为乐曲画上了一个宁静的句号"

原文简介:
Commissioned by BBC Music Magazine, Love came down at Christmas is Alexander L’Estrange’s stunning setting of the classic poem by Christina Rossetti. The music reflects the direct, sincere and expressive text in a simple strophic form, the melody passing to the basses for the second verse while the sopranos provide an angelic descant. A unison coda draws the piece to a serene close.
