OCTAVO SPOTLIGHT
Christmas Once Is Christmas Still Ephrem Feeley and Alan J. Hommerding
With lyrics written by Bishop Phillips Brooks, best known for his Christmas text “O Little Town of Bethlehem,” this far lesser-known hymn, full of highly descriptive imagery, contains all the fervor and insight of its more famous sibling. This text adaptation gives the original text more immediate appeal—especially for contemporary eyes and ears. There are two settings in this octavo, one a concertato arrangement for SATB choir, descant, piano, and English horn. The other is a unison hymn setting.
