"Gabriel's Message"
arranged by Edgar Pettman (1866 - 1943)

performed by The Sixteen

"Gabriel's Message" is a Basque Christmas folk carol about the Annunciation to the Virgin Mary by the archangel Gabriel that she would become the mother of the son of God.

The angel Gabriel from heaven came,
his wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame;
"All hail", said he, "thou lowly maiden Mary,
most highly favoured lady." Gloria.

This arrangement by Edgar Pettman was published in his 1892 book Modern Christmas Carols.
