CGE330 Comfort and Joy - SATB
Description
The ultimate creative programming selection for your Christmas or holiday concert is reflected in this unique, contemporary a cappella original employing the lyrics of the traditional English carol God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen. Featuring vocal ostinato patterns which support the melody, a little multi-meter fun and a strong, full-sounding chorus, the percussion (Hand Drum and Claves) will add texture and a festive flair to this joyous seasonal piece. Works equally well for either small or large ensembles. A Learning Resource Page is included.
