This Wanetta Hill text is related through the eyes of an individual who describes what might have been his own response to the Star in the East, if he had been a shepherd. "I wish that I had been a shepherd, tending flocks that night" is the opening line of text. A Latin text gives us the "heart" of the individual in his desire to adore and worship the Baby -- "Venite adoremus, Dominum." Rich harmonies and countermelodies are the basis for this SATB composition, and the text is particularly enhanced through the use of dynamics, emotional musical imagery, and word-painting. Your choir will love it.
