Description:
This Advent medley begins with LV and the hymn 'Savior of the Nations, Come, ' then moves into a gently syncopated accompaniment supporting 'O Come, O Come, Emmanuel. ' Then with subtle touch, the chant DIVINUM MYSTERIUM, sneaks into the mix via handchimes. The overlapping and interweaving of the tunes in minor mode creates an ethereal effect fitting for the season of anticipation.
