The story of the shepherds encountering the angelic hosts on the hillsides of Bethlehem. Imagine the silence of the night being shattered by a 6-part vocal jazz ensemble!
A sensitive and effective treatment of this lovely old gospel favourite. Lots of unison and easy two-part writing in the verses make this setting accessible for most choirs.
The biblical theme of ‘light’ is explored in this energetic gospel anthem. Once the word rhythms of the text are conquered it all falls into place beautifully.
Very 'Gospel' in style and text. The song moves forward making use of repetition and sequence to extend the form, so its basic shape is easy to grasp for the singers.
In this arrangement of the lovely Christmas-themed Sweet Little Jesus Boy, the music has been set in a slow swing style that is both moody and evocative.
