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.
