Organ is a must for this arrangement. The half-step rise in keys adds to the majesty of this Christmas carol. This carol begins simply with 2 parts and adds voicing as it goes. Verse 3 uses a canon. This arrangement may be heard on the LaserLight recording of "Christmas with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir" (#01630). A conductors score with parts for brass choir (3 trumpets, 2 horns, 2 trombones and a tuba), organ, percussion and timpani is also available (#00245). |
