Uses: Christmas
Scripture: Luke 2:1-20; Matthew 2:1-12
Rhythmic energy radiates throughout this piece that proclaims the joyous message sung by angels the first Christmas night, “Gloria in excelsis Deo!” The celebratory refrain begins and ends the piece while a slightly more relaxed middle section offers a pleasing contrast. A fine choice for both unison and unison/2-part choirs, especially for choirs of older elementary voices. Available separately: Unison/2-Part Treble, CelebrationTrax CD. Duration: 3:30
