CGA1218 Song of the Shepherd Children
Description
Nancy Raabe has created a tremendously fun and exciting piece with Song of the Shepherd Children. Raabe gives choirs the chance to sing in two separate groups or all together, whatever works for the capabilities of the choir. The use of a repeating simple syncopated rhythm in the vocal line will put young singers to the test as they sing of the world rejoicing that Jesus is born!
