About this arrangement

TTB/TBB choir, piano SKU: LO.15-3638H Composed by Jean Berger. Arranged by Douglas E. Wagner. Choral. Octavo. Heritage Music Press #15/3638H. Published by Heritage Music Press (LO.15-3638H). ISBN 9780787764494.For the want of a nail the shoe was lost ... the horse was lost ... the rider was lost ... the battle was lost ... the kingdom was lost, and all for the want of a horseshoe nail. Jean Berger set a clever Benjamin Franklin text in this vigorous and musically satisfying work. Beginning in unison, successive verses display a variety of choral textures that capture the rich sonorities of lower voices.
