Setting a text by Marc Bratcher, I too shall walk to Bethlehem depicts a journey to the Bethlehem stable ‘where once a child was born’, recounting the strength, courage, and heart acquired from the encounters along the way. Unison passages in upper and lower voices move seamlessly into warm homophonic harmonies, with brief moments of divisi. A flowing piano accompaniment provides support during, and interludes between, verses.
