While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks

The memorable carol While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks is intermingled with hints of The First Noel, Hark! the Herald Angels Sing and Il Est Ne. Theoptional C or B-flat instrumental line adds interest to this fun and accessible setting. Tabled mallets bring a joyful bounce to the opening sequence, followed by a slow and thoughtful rendering of the carol as the solo instrument soars above with a lovely obbligato. A grand and stately proclamation rounds out the arrangement. This work is ideal for church, school or concert venues during the Advent or Christmas season.
