Arizona composer Mark Mellis has created a clever and appealing setting of the Christmas psalm based on the well-known Christmas tune adeste fideles. Melodic hints of other carols such as “Away in a Manger” can be heard in the flute line, making this a veritable Christmas feast. The three-part choir and optional string quartet will fill the church with joy.
