The chorus leaned into the emotional core of the piece, delivering each phrase with clarity and tenderness. Swells of sound built gradually throughout the performance, echoing the boy’s growing confidence as he played his drum. The climactic moments were rich and resonant, filling the sanctuary with waves of sound that felt both grand and deeply intimate. Solo lines were handled with sensitivity, and the rhythmic pulse—a hallmark of this carol—was steady and compelling without overpowering the ensemble’s lyrical focus.
