Composed by English Carol. Arranged by Curtis Hanson. Christmas,Holiday,Sacred. Octavo. 4 pages. Curtis Hanson #742372. Published by Curtis Hanson (A0.1141996).In this post-pandemic era, demand for octavos for smaller choirs is on the rise. This is an arrangement for 2-part mixed voices of the well-known English carol, perfect for young or less-experienced choirs. The piano is very supportive of the voices. The first two verses give the melody to both treble and bass voices splitting into harmony for the refrain. Each verse has an option for a solo. The final verse optionally splits the baritone into tenor and bass, frequently in octaves or fifths. However, if male verses are limited, it works just fine to omit the divisi and sing just the tenor or the bass line, whatever voices are available. A juxtaposition of D-sharp and D-natural and C-sharp and C-natural may pose a bit of a challenge, but overall it is not a difficult arrangement. It would also work as a duet and is available in other more expanded voicings.
