Sondra Tucker enhances the Latin rhythms of a traditional South American Christmas Carol via gentle martellatos and ornamental lines in thirds, reminding us of a bright but quiet trumpet duet in a Mariachi band. A lullaby in a minor key has a joyous shift to major for the refrain. This shift is a characteristic of Spanish and Cuban folksongs (guajira.) Fresh, accessible, and fun to ring.

Christmas hymn With suspended bells quietly calling, O Come, O Come, Emmanuel, the scene is set for the urgency and excitement that is to follow - proclaim the good news that He Is Born! The faster tempo, minor backdrop and tabled mallet accompaniment drive the piece forward with the urgent message of the Christ Child's birth.
