Sing! For a Boy has been Born
This is a really lively setting of a colorful text by Danny Alorean. The
main theme is in 7/4 time, divided into 2, 2, and 3. It might sound tricky
but singers will soon get to feel the rhythm and become completely at home in
this time signature. There's plenty of contrast in the piece and singers are
sure to enjoy the music. It's scored for SATB choir with keyboard
accompaniment. The middle section uses
much vocal counterpoint and has almost a waltz feeling to it. The piano part
is of moderate difficulty. This joyful anthem would be a great addition to
your Christmas concert or service. In the audio recording, soprano 1 (C4
-G5) is played by flute, alto (B3-D5)
by oboe, tenor (D3-E4) by clarinet and bass (G2-C4) by bassoon. (Duration
