O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

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