近代西班牙作曲家布斯托(Javier Busto, 1949- )所作的混聲八部合唱曲,以結合現代和聲概念與傳統對位手法聞名,是當今活躍的作曲家。
此曲以和聲式手法創作為主軸,可以分為六大段。一開始為導奏,每位歌者以自由速度似說話的語調呈現整體和聲的變化;第二段以女高音聲部為主題,其他聲部則在後一拍進入,豐富了和聲色彩;第三段音樂織度由薄到厚,由男低音循序漸進至飽滿的四聲部;第四段先以四部男聲雄偉、歡欣地道出萬物都當看見救主降生,接著女聲加入,音樂轉為柔和,描繪耶穌躺臥在馬槽的景況;第五段以優美和聲,呈現之前出現過的主題,終段「哈利路亞」,女聲及男聲輪流讚美,累積至最後八聲部,高聲讚揚結束全曲。
I don't really completely agree with these comments. I think they are a little bit
above the lines!

Maybe they should really take the later section of the song at a slower pace, and even, freer time. The last thing you want to sing a Busto is to rush it thourgh without really caressing the beauty of each line and each variation.
