Choral Choir (SSAA) - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.856134 Composed by Traditional. Arranged by Liz Garnett. A Cappella,Christmas. Octavo. 2 pages. Liz Garnett #3023031. Published by Liz Garnett (A0.856134). This traditional carol tells of one of the darker parts of the Christmas story, the slaughter of the innocents, from the perspective of the mothers whose children are torn from their arms. The arrangement takes the haunting, plaintive melody, and turns the 'lully-lullay' of a lullaby into the tolling of a bell. The order to slay the children wrenches the music into a new key, and the final verse is bare, halting, desolate.Ranges:Tenor: G4-F5Lead: D#4-D5Bari: A flat 3 - A4Bass: F3 - F#4(N.B.
