Composer: Richard Willis, Hymn Composer | Era: 19th Century Composer: Frédéric Chopin | Era: Romantic
This pairing unites Richard Willis’s beloved Christmas hymn with Chopin’s exquisite Nocturne in E-flat Major, a perfect marriage of sacred melody and Romantic expression, which creates a unique and prayerful fusion. The Nocturne, composed by a young Chopin, is one of the most beloved pieces of all time. It embodies the Romantic era’s emphasis on intimacy and poetic emotion. When blended with Willis’ Christmas hymn, the result is a reflective and reverent musical moment. Grace offers a prayerful interpretation with poetic nuance.
