Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Quartet Clarinet - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.919140 Composed by Edmund Sears, Richard Storrs Willis. Arranged by Vanessa Klassen. Christmas. 10 pages. Vanessa Klassen #6195965. Published by Vanessa Klassen (A0.919140). It Came Upon the Midnight Clear is a poem written in 1849 by Edmund Sears, a pastor of the Unitarian Church in Wayland, Massachusetts. Contrasting with many Christmas songs, this poem describes a dark world full of "sin and strife," and looks forward to an "age of gold," when there will be true peace on Earth. In 1850, a student of Felix Mendelssohn’s, Richard Storrs Willis, composed the melody of the Christmas song which he called Carol. This is the common melody that the poem is sung to in North America, while other countries have adopted a different melody entitled Noël. This arrangement is for clarinet quartet. Listening for balance is important as the melody is passed between the voices.
