Recorded live on December 8, 2013, at All Saints Episcopal Church in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Performed by the Lyric Choir ensemble of the Girl Choir of South Florida. Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson, Harpist: Charlene Conner. When night's shadows fly New Year's dawn floods all the sky; And joyful voices sound, joyful voices sound.
