Full Score and Parts plus CD with Printable Parts for Go Sing It on the Mountain - 65/2073L The birth of Jesus is a scene of awe-inspiring humility: God in human form, born in a lowly manger for our salvation. Pepper Choplin's distinctive, folk-infused musical style is particularly well-suited to capture this story. Employing a highly-inventive mixture of mountain melodies, folk hymns, spirituals, familiar carols, and original music that is sure to surprise and delight, Go Sing It on the Mountain proclaims the good news from the prophet Isaiah's proclamation, Comfort, O comfort my people, to the final exuberant celebration: Joy to the World! Christ is born! Solos, Duets, and Trios shine the spotlight on featured singers and nicely complement the SATB choruses.
