Infant Holy, Infant Lowly (Polish Carol)

The magic of Christmas Eve is depicted in this very simple, yet compelling ancient Polish Carol. A unique performance suggestion is to place one flutist in the back of the hall as an echo of the opening and closing melody statements. This refreshing rendition of an oft sung carol prompts renewed appreciation of its beauty for both performers and audience members. Scored for 6 C flutes, optional alto, bass, and contrabass. Performance time: 2.75 minutes.
