About This Song
About "Langlais: 3 Poèmes évangéliques, Op. 2: II. La nativité" by Andrew Lumsden
La nativité from Langlais's Three Evangelical Poems is no cozy manger scene. The organ leaps and flickers—star-light, animal breath, a stable's rough wood—before settling into a luminous, unsettled stillness. Lumsden captures the wonder and the strangeness: a birth that feels like both dawn and a tremor in the dark.
