This multi-generational arrangement of the famous Sy Miller and Jill Jackson song is crafted to beautifully incorporate a children’s choir and adults choir. The delicate opening by the children’s choir begins in unison before splitting into two easy-to-sing parts before leading into a power crescendo where the children are joined by full SATB scoring. In a suspenseful moment, the arrangement relaxes into a quiet, touching ending with a children’s solo singing the opening melody “Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.â€.

Asked to contribute a carol to the already rich Finnish Christmas repertoire, music I've sung myself for many years, I was very aware of the things that mark the season for my adopted countrymen: peace, stillness, the cold landscape and home. When I came across Ester Ahokainen's gentle poem, so focused around these images, it seemed like providence. The resulting song is modest and warmly modal, departing only a little from Finnish tradition: a lingering dissonance here, a moment of quiet sentiment held slightly longer expected there. Like the words, the music opens outward in thanks at the end. Aattoilta was composed for the Helsinki Chamber Choir Christmas CD recording, and is dedicated to them.

WATCHNIGHT is, in many ways, a traditional Christmas Eve service, with all of the moments that have defined similar services over the years; quiet music, children reading the Christmas Story, candlelight and communion. But this musical worship time is a quiet celebration of waiting, a rekindling of the child's soul in all of us, a reminder that the mystery and magic of God's plan for Christmas Day is still alive...if we will see it again through the eyes of a child. Walk through WATCHNIGHT with an open heart, let your childlike soul be “led home†through the singing of carols, and the hearing of the Christmas Story, enacted by children. Share the Lord's Supper and the lighting of candles to welcome the Child. Know that the Child of Bethlehem wishes to have the child of your soul holding His hand. Tiny Babe of Bethlehem Won't you take my hand again; Wake the child that has my name, So I will never be the same.
