Based upon the classic Christmas carol Good King Wenceslas, composer Deborah Baker Monday takes us on a historical journey that depicts the story of how Wenceslas became the good King. Deborah has created a stunning new piece that is dark and foreboding at the start, depicting the evil that was around during Wenceslas' time. But the goodness of the King wins out and the piece ends triumphantly as the carol is then brought to us as we know it: Good King Wenceslas, the man that became a saint. This exceptionally fresh and different take on a popular Christmas song is perfect for your next holiday concert.
