ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH
[4:00] 2/1-2/1-2/1-2/1, 4-3-3-1, timp+3, hp, cel, Children, SATB chorus, strings
Commissioned by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra.
An ethereal, highly unusual setting that packs an unexpected emotional punch. Begins and ends quietly, and features unison children throughout. Nice soloistic woodwind and horn passages, and a stirring mid-piece climax with the adult chorus and full orchestra. Slow tempo throughout.
