Story behind the song
My son, Brad, is playing the clarinet lead on this recording using his new A clarinet. He also presented this piece at the Christmas Eve service at St. Matthias Episcopal Church, East Aurora, NY. I've added guitar for this recording. I wrote the variations to work with the arrangement as printed in the Episcopal hymnal.
