most highly favored lady

our time for sharing holiday seasonal music is coming to an end in a couple of days and i thought i'd wind down with songs that reflect on the central story of christmas. tonight's is a folk song that dates back to the 13th century and focuses on the visitation of the angel gabriel to a young girl who would play a pivotal role in the history of the world. the setting of this rendition of is both lovely and haunting as befits the moment which it recalls.

gabriel's message - sting from a very special christmas, vol. 1
