Product Description
In 2003 my church asked me to transcribe and orchestrate (for keyboards and string section) Nichole Nordeman's hauntingly beautiful "Small Enough" for use in their annual Christmas program...a duet between Mary and Joseph. If you are unfamiliar with this song, or it's been a while since you thought of it, you can hear Nicole's rendition here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5wR8PIXPwQ
Actually, the song can be used anytime as it marvels about how our great God can be interested in the minutiae of our lives.
Nicole's recording is in the key of C, and this transcription/arrangement is in C. If your duet partners would prefer the arrangement to be lowered a minor 3rd to the key of A, you can find that version listed separately on SMP.
This PDF contains the female/male duet, the piano/synth part, and the supplemental parts for a string section. And as always, a C score is provided, which allows a keyboardist to cover for any missing strings.
The demo is computer-generated and covers the vocal and keyboard parts with piano only, adding strings when they enter (and, of course, has zero expression). To get a better idea of how the synth and string parts sound, please listen again to Nicole's recording. Duration: approx. 4:15. The purchase price allows you to duplicate as many copies as needed for your vocalists and instrumentalists.
It has been my lifelong passion to provide fresh, yet accessible music for the churches and schools with whom I have been associated. Because of the slowdown caused by Covid-19, I finally have the time to start posting 45 years' worth of custom arrangements on Sheet Music Plus. If you are curious about what else is available, please navigate to my publisher page here on SMP
<https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/publishers/leatherman-music-services/16718>; or slip over to Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/leathermanmusicservices>; where you can see and hear more published works.
Thanks for your interest! If you perform any of my material and are able to produce a high-quality mp3 recording or a video, please send it to me at leathmus@aol.com. If it's something that I can use as a demo on SMP or Facebook, I'll refund your purchase price and give credit where credit is due!
God bless!
