Incorporating Angels We Have Heard on High. Composed by Christmas Carol. Arranged by Christi Jones. 12 pages. Duration 3 minutes. BriLee Music #BL1235. Published by BriLee Music (CF.BL1235).UPC: 672405010870. Key: G major. Traditional.
This arrangement takes a classic carol and combines it with a fun and lighthearted doo-wop style. When I taught it to my middle school students, we learned it on solfege in the Key of G to really help lock in the parts, especially the chorus. The solfege also helped us to learn the opening and transitions, as well as the solo section. Once, you get these parts down, it's pretty repetitive. We performed it for several of our Holiday Tour performances, and it was well-received by audience members from kindergarteners to senior citizens! I hope your students enjoy singing this arrangement as much as my students did! Performance suggestion: Add snaps on the off-beats (beat 4 and 10) to enhance the style, but stop snapping during the solo (measures 28-35) and for the last two measures when it slows down (measures 47-48).
