CGA988 Santo, Santo, Santo (Two- part)
Description
This arrangement is based on a popular Argentinian text and folk tune. Using the English translation of the text, 'Holy, holy, holy, my heart adores you,' the simple, lyrical melody is first introduced in unison. That melody then repeats with the addition of harmony and the traditional Spanish text. An original, countermelody is soon introduced that eventually combines with the original melody in typical partner song style. A companion handbell arrangement is available (CGB339) which may be played alone or as an accompaniment to this anthem. Optional accompaniment CGB339 with 3, 4, or 5 octaves.
Voicing: Two-part with piano and optional flute
Composer: Argentinian folk tune
Arranger: Mary Kay Parrish
