Genre: Other Choral
Pr. Instrument: Chorus/Choir
Vaughan Williams composed a Christmas cantata, "Hodie" when he was eighty-one. It includes two short sections for unaccompanied chorus. One of these is called "The Blessed Son of God". It is a simple carol with text by Myles Coverdale based on Martin Luther's.:
The blessed son of God only
In a crib full poor did lie;
With out poor flesh and our poor blood
Was clothed that everlasting good.
Kyrie eleison.
