Die Magie der Weihnacht und der Menschwerdung Gottes ist in diesem bewegenden O magnum mysterium von Chris Artley direkt in die Musik übergegangen. Mit dem sich ruhig aufbauenden Stimmen, während die Worte "O magnum" wiederholt werden, beginnt dieses Chorstück, das Artley für den Nelson Summer School Choir komponierte. Fast balladenhaft setzt der Sopran mit der eingängigen Melodie ein, ruhig begleitet vom restlichen Chor, um das wunderbare Ereignis der Geburt Jesu im mehrfach wieder erklingenden, gemeinsamen Alleluia zu feiern.

Published in December 1920 in Harper's Magazine and again in 1923 in his Pulitzer Prize-winning book New Hampshire, "Fire and Ice" is one of Robert Frost's most popular poems. Some have asserted that the poem is a compression of Dante's Inferno. In an anecdote he recounted in 1960, prominent astronomer Harlow Shapley claimed to have inspired Fire and Ice in an encounter with Frost a year before the poem was published. Frost asked Shapley how the world will end, and Shapley responded that either the sun will explode and incinerate the Earth, or the Earth will somehow escape this fate only to end up slowly freezing in deep space.
Sheet music for FIRE AND ICE is available from J.W. Pepper: https://www.jwpepper.com/11129789.item

All parts are performed by Matthew Curtis
- "Before you can say, "Come and go",
And breathe twice, and cry, "So,so"
Each one, tripping on his toe,
Will be here with mop and (mow)
(Do you love me, master?no?)"
"Where the bee sucks there (suck) I:
In a cow-slips (bell) I lie;
There I couch when owls do cry.
On a bat's back (I do) fly
After (summer) merrily,
Merrily, merrily shall I live now
Under the blossom that hangs on the bough" less
