Sing! For a Boy has Been Born (SAB accompanied)

This is a really lively setting of a colorful text by Danny Alorean. The main theme is in 7/8 time, divided into 2, 2, and 3. It might look a bit daunting to some, but is easy when counted as 1-2-1-2-1-2-3. Its recommended that singers practice this rhythm first, perhaps by clapping on the off-beats. There's plenty of contrast in the piece and singers are sure to enjoy the music. It's scored for SAB choir with keyboard accompaniment. The middle section uses some vocal counterpoint and has almost a waltz feeling to it. Choir members need to be reasonably experienced at singing independent vocal parts. The piano part is of moderate difficulty but could be handled by any competent pianist. This joyful anthem would be a great addition to your Christmas concert or service. The vocal range is as follows. Soprano: C4 - F5; Alto: A3 - D5; Baritone: C3 - E4. (Duration 03:03)
