for upper voices, SATB (with solos), and harp
My Perfect Stranger is a captivating setting of Kevin Crossley-Holland's retelling of the Christmas story. Soloists take on the roles of key players in the narrative in the central movement, with the upper voices taking on the role of the guiding star, as well as enriching the texture at important moments in the story. The artful harp writing makes for a vibrant accompaniment and a successful alternative to the more common accompaniments for keyboard.
