Small Ensemble Alto Voice,Piano Accompaniment,Soprano voice - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1513097 Composed by Phillips Brooks and Lewis H Redner. Arranged by Connie Boss. Christian,Christmas. 9 pages. Connie Boss #1087980. Published by Connie Boss (A0.1513097). This version has an optional beginning. I have choir humming for the first three measure. There is a soloist that starts singing after that. The optional part is to not play the piano until half way through the verse. There is accompaniment if you prefer. You can hear on the mp3 how it sounds being a cappella until then. It is for SSAA voices. I have also added additions to each verse that is different than the original with new lyrics and music. It adds a little bit to this iconic song.
