This video highlights a stunningly beautiful arrangement of “Sussex Carol” by Elaine Hagenberg, performed by the Glen Ellyn-Wheaton Chorale during its “Wintersong” concert on 01 Dec 2018 at College Church, Wheaton, IL. All footage (images, video, music) is from that concert. The music features the uplifting sound of the Chorale, the conducting artistry of Greg Wheatley, the virtuosity of J.M (Mac) Willaert at the piano, and the sublimely emotive skills of an ensemble of string and percussion players.
