About this arrangement

Choral Choir (TTBB) - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.942973 Composed by trad. English Christmas carol. Arranged by Jan-Frerk Jelend. A Cappella,Christian,Christmas,Sacred. Octavo. 4 pages. Jan-Frerk Jelend #6352557. Published by Jan-Frerk Jelend (A0.942973). ABOUT THE ARRANGEMENTThis is an arrangement for TTBB male choir of the beautiful old English carol "God rest you merry Gentlemen". The first two verses are harmonized in a more or less traditional way, which allows the male choir sound to unfold its typical warm and somehow "archaic" sound. In opposition to that, the third verse is composed in a polythonic way: the melody in this verse is sung by the two bass voices in unison, while the two tenor voices follow them one after another in a short distance. This canon-like composition underlines the lyrics, which speak of the shepherds leaving their flock behind and hasting towards the new-born child. The last verse begins in with all the voices singing in an octave unison, creating a majestic sound.If you'd like to contact the arranger, mail to: jf.jelend(AT)web.de This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
