“…models of what a contemporary composer can do to freshen the spirit of Christmas music without losing sight of its fundamental traditions and emotional appeal…Stevens’s vocal writing is notable for its rhythmical and metrical freedom (it wholly escapes the tyranny of the bar-line in word-setting) and for its fine sense of balance and color. Rich in imitation and other devices, it is nonetheless spontaneous.”
