The First Noel

This handsome and reverent setting of the beloved Christmas carol is absolutely a quintessential choral offering for larger or more capable choral groups. Beginning simply and quietly, with unison verses for women and men, it blossoms into an overwhelming expression of joy on the final verse that calls into play the very best in expressive nuances from your musicians. Scored for divisi mixed chorus and full orchestra, it also offers a piano-four-hands accompaniment that is effective and colorful on its own merits. An uplifting and memorable finale to any December musical presentation.
