Merry Christmas from the St. Mary's University Chapel Choir!
Celebrate the birth of Christ with this hymn, Mary's Lullaby, by Mary Donnelly and George L. O. Strid.
This video features images of native mothers and their children, as well as photos of parents and babies from the chapel choir family.
From their homes throughout the state of Texas, Arizona, Hawai'i, Massachusetts, New Mexico and Virginia, as well as Honduras, each choir member recorded individual parts which were combined digitally to re-create the experience of singing together as a group.
All 48 on this video include St. Mary's current students, alumni, graduates, and former members of the chapel choir who have remained connected with the group since it formed in 2008 by María A. Smith.
