Composed by Richard Joseph Barber. 20th Century,Christian,Christmas,Classical,Romantic Period. Octavo. 5 pages. Barber Music Company #3691481. Published by Barber Music Company (A0.915682). "On the Night that Christ Was Born," words and music by Richard Joseph Barber, is a three-part (SAB) composition for Advent.
The soprano range is from middle c to the second d above middle c . The alto sings from the first a below middle c to the second d above middle c. The bass runs from the first c below middle c to the the first e above middle c.
The piece lasts about one minute and 15 seconds if you perform it at the tempo marked.
It is not a difficult piece for the singers or for the accompanist; neither is it boring. There is enough repetition of musical ideas to make the piece attainable to most choirs, but also enough variety to make it interesting for more advanced choirs as well as audiences.
The mood is joyful, happy, and fun without being irreverent.
I hope you will get some copies and try it with you choir. Please let me know how you and your choir and your audience(s) liked it. And if you have questions or comments about the piece, please do not hesitate contact me.
Sincerely,
Dick Barber, aspiringtunerrjb@sbcglobal.net
