It is cast in four movements and lasts about 12 minutes. It has been described as an "unusual and very lovely Christmas piece". The work, for the most part gentle and evocative, establishes a mood of antiquity. The four scenes are vividly characterized and the instruments are used to great effect. The opening movement L'Étoile (The Star) begins with a mysterious duet for flute and bassoon and features sparkling harp arpeggios. In Les Mages, the bassoon and the flute echo the Magi's efforts during their journey, with a melody that displays a characteristic augmented interval (E-flat to F-sharp). The goal of their pilgrimage is the subject of the next movement, La Vierge et l'enfant. It is extremely simple, based entirely on the C natural-minor scale. The harmony consists only of three chords: Cm, Fm and Gm and calls to mind a peaceful lullaby. The final movement Entrée et danse des bergers (Entrance and Dance of the Shepherds) is more rhythmically complex and changes meter several times. It ends unexpectedly on an E major chord with added sixth." (Wikipedia) _____ © COPYRIGHT Disclaimer, Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976.
