About this arrangement

Solo, SATB choir, and piano or full orchestra - Intermediate SKU: MN.50-0555 Composed by William Beckstrand. Advent, Hanging of the Green, Lessons and Carols, 21st Century. Choral score. MorningStar Music Publishers #50-0555. Published by MorningStar Music Publishers (MN.50-0555). UPC: 688670505553. English.Commissioned by the Thunder Bay Symphony Chorus, this is a creative setting of the familiar original material. There is a full orchestra accompaniment and a piano reduction which also works quite well to convey the spirit of the larger forces. The choral parts are challenging in spots where interpolations are written and the rhythm changes, but much of it is easy and fun to sing. The composer has written original music for two inner verses which provides a lovely contrast and variety to the main theme. These two verses are set to the same melody, the latter one featuring a soloist in a medium range. The overall effect is celebratory and joyful!
