Product Description
This setting was written in response to a request from a church in Toccoa, Georgia, USA. The poem was written by Dr. Henry Fields, a former minister of the church, and now retired.
It's quite a gentle setting, as befits the words, and is for mixed choir (SATB, with some divisions), with piano (or organ) accompaniment. A light orchestration is also available from the composer.
The music builds to a gentle climax at the end of the poem:
"As angels sing and shepherds praise
And wise men priceless treasures raise,
O bow your head to the lowly sod
For you hold none other than the Eternal God."
This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
