Composed by William Billings. Arranged by Nathaniel Hontz. Advent,Christmas,Early Music,Holiday,Sacred. 18 pages. TigerSong LLC #911345. Published by TigerSong LLC (A0.1323071).Early American composer William Billings utilizes the same Christmas text "Methinks I hear a Heavenly Host" for both his tunes "Shiloh" and "Boston." Shiloh, is a lively tune, alternating between 4/4 time for the verse and 3/2 time for the chorus. This arrangement for brass quintet presents three iterations. The first places the melody in the horn, mimicking the early American proclivity for placing the melody in the tenor voice and a counter line in the soprano voice. The second iteration is a multi-part canon between the trumpets, the low brass, and the horn. The final recapitulation restates the carol, this time with the melody in the first trumpet to soar above the other parts. The iterations can be played individually or together.
