Swaddling Clothes

Swaddling Clothes
A Tender Christmas Anthem for Unison / Two-Part Youth Choir

Gentle, reverent, and full of wonder, “Swaddling Clothes” is a slow, lyrical Christmas selection ideal for children’s or youth choirs. With simple yet expressive vocal writing, this piece invites young singers to reflect on the nativity story through vivid imagery and heartfelt melody.
