"Puer nobis nascitur" (TLH #63)


I transposed this from Eb major to D major.  Some notes in the harmony part sound a bit off to me, but I don't know if that's because they're written that way or because I made mistakes in my transposition.

I had to reference my Latin verb charts to confirm that "nascitur" is a passive form.  "Puer nobis nascitur" is "A child is born for us" (from Isaiah 9:6).
