A choir with successful divisi (particularly bass/baritone) will want to take a serious look at this staple of Christmas Americana.
The harmonic richness and resplendent sonorities beautifully enhance this haunting melody.
The setting opens and closes with a captivating role for a confident mezzo-soprano soloist with a wide range, exquisite tuning, and comfort in singing a cappella.
Highly recommended.
