Infant Holy, Infant Lowly

SATB choir with piano and opt. violin or flute

Just in time for the Christmas choral season, Infant Holy, Infant Lowly is a beautiful new arrangement for SATB choir with piano and optional violin or flute. Infant Holy, Infant Lowly (often sung with the text Stars were gleaming, shepherds dreaming…) is a memorable Polish Christmas carol.

This arrangement features beautiful, natural SATB harmony over gorgeous contrasting lines in the piano and optional violin or flute. The instrumental parts also include subtle quotations from Jesus, Once of Humble Birth and The First Noel. This is an ideal Christmas selection for church or school choirs with limited rehearsal time.

This arrangement is available exclusively from HolySheetMusic.com.

onightcap

O Night is a song about the birth of Christ.  This SATB piece begins with a medium-voice solo, then breaks into a quasi-canon in the choral voices.  The song finishes as it begins, with a solo voice imploring the audience to receive Christ the Lord.  The minimalistic accompaniment provides a starry backdrop for a song that expresses joy at the coming of the Savior.  It was written as a part of the 2010 Christmas cantata Come and Behold Him.  This standalone version contains different measure numbering from the original cantata score.
