The Spider's Gift is a delightful song for two-part equal voices, perfect for a school or community choir Christmas concert. This enchanting piece, suitable for all ages, brings to life an Eastern European folktale about the origins of tinsel. The song tells the story of a poor widow whose bare Christmas tree is decorated by a spider. When the first rays of sun hit the webs, they transform into gold and silver, bringing joy and prosperity to the widow. In parts of Germany and Ukraine, it is considered good luck to find a spider or a spider’s web in your Christmas tree.
