CGA555 A Waiting Carol

Description

Please note that the audio sample above was informally recorded in the Choristers Guild offices for melody/accompaniment demonstration purposes only. No actual demo recording or accompaniment track is availalable for this piece.

Description: A true gem for children's choirs! Written for unison voices with keyboard, hand drum, and optional recorder or flute. Recorder is preferred; if flute is used, it should be played an octave higher than written. The recorder plays a delightful 'candle theme', which occurs four times (representing the four candles of the Advent wreath).

Voicing: unison with keyboard, hand drum, and optional flute or recorder

Composer: Helen Kemp

Text: Helen Kemp
