Product Description
A very accessible and melodic arrangement of the familiar hymn for SATB choir with piano (or organ) accompaniment features several different voicings in the various stanzas, including unison choir, mens' and women's voices, an optional a capella section, and a final verse with descant. The descant part could also be doubled or performed by a solo instrument such as violin, flute, oboe, or horn. The arrangement is easy to sing and play and will make a wonderful addition to the repertoire for any church choir. Liturgical use: with verses focusing on various stages in the life of Christ, from nativity to Second Coming, this hymn is appropriate for commemorating any part of Christ's life, including Advent, Christmas, Palm Sunday, and Ascension Day.
