The opening strains of Victoria's O MAGNUM MYSTERIUM lead to an original Christmas offering from the Poormans. 'Young King born in a manger stall, how could it be? Came to earth to save us all, how could it be?' What great mystery is this that comes in the form of a tiny, helpless child to bring salvation to earth? This highly emotional anthem captures the essence of that eternal question, God's joining of humanity and divinity. This piece is destined to become a classic in Christmas Eve repertoire.
