O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

Opening with a free solo, this traditional carol is set in an arrangement that combines ancient with modern in a masterful way. A cappella, with improvised vocal percussion, the chant melody gives way to a rhythmic texture that is layered with lines of flowing Latin chant, vocal ostinatos, and amazing contemporary harmonies. Perform the exact arrangement from Brigham Young University's Vocal Point with your tenor-bass a cappella ensemble, or use this adapted SATB version with piano accompaniment for your mixed ensemble.
