By Nigel Williams. By Felix Bartholdy Mendelssohn. Arranged by Nigel Williams. Christmas,Traditional. 15 pages. Nigel Williams #1054681. Published by Nigel Williams (A0.1477258).

A hymn concertato arrangement of the last verse of this popular Christmas hymn, for descant sopranos, brass quintet and organ. There is an optional two bar link before the verse begins at bar 3. The fifteen page download includes a one page soprano descant score, five individual brass parts and a two page organ score. The brass quintet parts are more advanced in difficulty level, the soprano descant and organ parts are intermediate in difficulty level. The descant is new and fresh, and the harmonies used to support it are closely related to the familiar harmonization by Mendelssohn. The trumpet parts in particular are fanfare-like while the lower three instruments support the hymn tune and harmony. (See also my arrangement of this hymn verse for soprano descant, trumpet & organ).
