“The Greatest Gift” by Shonda English is a song steeped in the gospel music tradition of tertian harmony. It tells the Christmas story from a Christian perspective and underscores values associated with love, peace, and understanding.

 

 

NMH Vespers has combined choral and orchestral music, carols, and readings since the 1930s. On campus, Vespers is held in a candlelit Memorial Chapel. This event is a lovely showcase of students' musical skills as well as a moving celebration of the winter holiday season. Vespers is held off campus as well, alternating between Boston and New York City each year.
