Harpists may recognize this carol as an instrumental piece called Lullaby for Ana Gwen, which I wrote specially for an album project with the renowned harpist Catrin Finch in 2012. It caught the attention of my German choral conductor friend Nicol Matt, who told me ‘you should make a Christmas carol out of that piece’ … so I did.
