Love Came Down at Christmas

受英國廣播公司音樂雜誌委託，亞歷山大-埃斯特朗奇將克莉絲蒂娜-羅塞蒂的經典詩歌改編成《愛在聖誕降臨》，令人歎為觀止。樂曲以簡單的strophic形式反映了直接、真誠和富有表現力的文本，第二節的旋律由男低音負責，而女高音則提供了天使般的吟唱。齊奏的尾聲為樂曲畫上了一個寧靜的句號"

原文簡介:
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.
