Tenor voice solo and SATB choir unaccompanied - Intermediate
SKU: EC.8864
Composed by James McCullough. Christmas, African American Heritage. Octavo. E.C. Schirmer Publishing #8864. Published by E.C. Schirmer Publishing (EC.8864).UPC: 600313488641. English. Matthew 1:16; Matthew 1:18; Luke 2:12.
Three variants of this spiritual tune are set for Tenor Solo and unaccompanied SATB chorus. With its modal, plaintive quality, the form reflects a question-and-answer response structure, so commonly used in African American spirituals. However, the overall musical structure of this work is strophic in its melodic design. Mostly homophonic with approachable choral writing, this is a fresh and useful setting.
