About

Composed in 2019 and captured here in its UK premiere performance, James MacMillan’s Christmas Oratorio finds both mystery and splendour in the most familiar of sacred stories: the birth of Jesus.

Embracing a Scots Gaelic lullaby, English poetry, Latin texts and Bible passages all recounting the Nativity, MacMillan deftly weaves together these strands in his trademark expressive and immediate language, reflecting both his Scottish roots and his deeply held Catholic faith, to create a deeply moving and powerful work.
