Voicing & Instruments: TTBB/TTBB Chorus unaccompanied
Composer/Arranger: Rodde, James, Thompson, Randall
The original composition by Randall Thompson (1899-1984) published in 1928 is for SSAA/SSAA Chorus. A version for SATB/SATB Chorus was published in 1986. The present TTBB arrangement remains true to the treble version, lowering all voice parts one octave. This version for double men's chorus is useful under a wide variety of circumstances. It could be used as a Palm Sunday introit or procession. It is a great teaching piece for a school group or men's choir festival. It could be doubled on a double quartet of instruments.
