During the beauty of winter...

...I find old hymns particularly stirring.  This is a marvelous setting of the text set by Robert Robinson in 1757 to the popular tune Nettleton.  I love the old Shaker hymns and find them deeply stirring and comforting. The interplay of the voices makes for a whole cloth that weaves magical breadth into the tune with its peaceful minor mode.  I hope you'll enjoy this beautiful arrangement.
