This little Christmas motet, the Responsory to the eighth Lesson of Second Vespers on Christmas, was composed in honor of the Rev. Dr. Vahe Simonian who, toward the end of his illustrious career, served as Interim Pastor at Beverly Hills Presbyterian Church, where the composer was Music Director. A setting of John 1:14 sung in Latin, it is through-composed in the Renaissance manner, with each new phrase of text being ushered-in by a new musical idea. Duration: 3:00
