The opening track, "Procession," sets the tone for the rest of the album, with its hauntingly beautiful harmonies and ethereal vocals. The album continues with "Wolcum Yole!", a cheerful and upbeat carol that showcases the group's versatility.

Throughout the album, the Stake Chorale's voices blend together seamlessly, creating a rich and full-bodied sound that is both powerful and delicate. The group's attention to detail is evident in every note, as they bring each carol to life with their impeccable phrasing and impeccable timing.

The standout track on the album is undoubtedly "This Little Babe," which features a breathtaking solo performance by one of the group's sopranos. Her voice soars effortlessly over the rest of the choir, creating a moment of pure beauty and awe.
