Calm on the listening ear of night… these simple words by the 19th century American hymn-writer Edmund Hamilton Sears capture much of the mystery and beauty of Christmas. The seasons of Advent and Christmas have inspired some of the most beautiful and spiritual choral music across the centuries. And, this second CD by the Chancel Choir of Third Presbyterian Church presents some of the favorite selections from the choir's repertoire for these high seasons of the liturgical year.
