Let the Church Bells Ring
Publisher Desc.
This Christmas song is based on a Norwegian folksong, "Kling no
Klokka" (Hear the Church Bells), and the setting was originally made for
the Nidaros Cathedral Boys' Choir in Trondheim, Norway, where it has been
performed a number of times, with the original Norwegian words. It has also
been performed in Singapore, Russia and Scotland (in Norwegian). I have now
made a new setting, with my own English words, "Let the church bells
ring" to make it more approachable for English speaking choirs. The attached youtube video is of a
performance given by the Norwegian choir in Singapore. Accompaniment is for
organ or piano. An orchestration is also available from the composer at
[email protected].
The SATB setting is moderately easy, with some divisi in all parts.
