Choral Choir (SA) - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.856147 Composed by Trad. Arranged by Liz Garnett. A Cappella,Contemporary,Folk. Octavo. 4 pages. Liz Garnett #3417457. Published by Liz Garnett (A0.856147). I have loved this folk song since I sang Benjamin Britten's arrangement of it for solo voice and piano in my teens. This four-part a cappella arrangement has a lilt that those who know Britten's version will find familiar, but ranges more widely harmonically, moving into a variety of different keys as it passes the melody from lead to bass and finally to tenor.It increasingly explores both diatonic dissonance and chromatic harmonies as the emotional narrative becomes more troubled, evoking the poignancy of the lyric in both the shape of the lines and the way they rub up against each other.Vocal ranges:Tenor: E flat 4 - F5Lead: B flat 3 - C5Bari: B flat 3 - B flat 4Bass: E flat 3 - F4It is notated on two staves, treble and bass alta (i.e. bass clef sounding up an octave)

Published by Music Anon (A0.1151519). Set to poetry by KC Conway, this song cycle depicts the story of Joseph through the birth of Jesus. The eight movement cycle is set for Tenor, Baritone and Bass accompanied by harp. Opening with a prelude, the early songs depict the attraction to Mary, continue into the journey with Hamor, the donkey, and finish with reverence for the child. The work was originally commissioned by the Edgewater Singers to partner on a concert with Benjamin Britten's A Ceremony of Carols. The work may be sung by a trio of men or a chorus. An SATB version is available as well.

Choral Choir,Choral (SA) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.998885 Composed by Robert A. Howard. 21st Century,Advent,Christmas,Folk,Praise & Worship. 7 pages. Robert A. Howard #6487359. Published by Robert A. Howard (A0.998885). This is an original setting of a text commonly associated with a movement from Benjamin Britten's A Ceremony of Carols, for use in worship or concerts at Christmas. The lilting rhythms of compound metre portray the gentle rocking of a baby's crib, clearly referring to the song's subject matter. Textural variation in the piano and choral parts provide variety in each verse. The piece is appropriate for most standards of two-part (SA) choir, or duet, including school, student, community, church and cathedral choirs. The accompaniment is quite pianistic but can be played/adapted on the organ. The original simple unison setting, as well as versions for solo voice, and for SATB choir, are also available via Sheet Music Plus.
