O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

A lovely marrying of VENI EMMANUEL and CWM RHONDDA begins with ethereal singing bell and mallet rolls on low chimes that then continue to support the melody. The Advent melody is featured throughout, with the CWM RHONDDA tune providing contrast. 4/4 and 3/4 meters add another level of interest as further interplay between the two hymn tunes, dynamics, and expression leads to a unique and powerful ending. So nicely crafted, this setting is bound to become a staple in your group's Advent repertoire.
