SATB with opt. Handbells or Handchimes opt. Child's Solo and opt. Congregation

Wordfs by Cecil F. Alexander
Arranged by Lee Dengler

Lee Dengler's flexible setting of the familiar carol includes choir, optional congregation, optional child soloist, and optional handbells. This carol, traditionally used as the opening piece to a Lessons and Carols service, is arranged with warmth and variety. The 2nd stanza's beautiful part-writing offers an enjoyable challenge for the choir, especially if performed a cappella. The third stanza features the congregation with Sopranos and Tenors on an optional descant, as well as optional Handbells or Handchimes (3 octaves). The piece concludes with a simple yet effective choral ending. An optional orchestration (Score and parts for Flute, Oboe (Flute 2), Bb Clarinets 1 & 2, Percussion 1 & 2, Violins 1 & 2, Viola, Cello, String Bass) is available separately.
