A Classical Christmas

Three major masterwork choruses, popular during the Christmas season, are presented in this Greg Gilpin arrangement. Beginning with the stately Rejoice Greatly, the voice parts are simplified and feature an optional solo and flow seamlessly into For Unto Us a Child Is Born. The medley slows into the gentle Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, then builds into a grand finale of Hallelujah. Again, the voice leading has been modified in a few places to allow for more limited ranges, especially the tenor line. Available in two voicings, Classical Christmas will appeal to choirs of all sizes and abilities. An exciting new way to enjoy these popular, traditional choral works.
