About this arrangement

Choir Secular (SATB choir) SKU: AP.51133 Composed by Ruth Morris Gray. Performance Music Ensemble; Single Titles. Alfred Choral Designs. Christmas; Secular; Winter. Choral Octavo. 8 pages. Alfred Music #00-51133. Published by Alfred Music (AP.51133). UPC: 038081581705. English. Words by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Familiar words, new melody. Ruth's cheerful a cappella setting of the yuletide text accentuates the peace on earth lyric, adding a harmonically rich bridge on just those words. Crisp choral ding dong entrances, a melodic twist in the middle, and a tuneful final descant decorate the otherwise strophic verses. Add to the festivity (and anchor the minor-key tonality) with optional tubular bells or chimes.
