The Ships of the Desert (The Camels' Carol) Piano Accompaniment
Choir - MP3 Download

This lovely Christmas anthem (from the children's musical The Animal Alleluia) is perfect for children's choirs-- use it in your Christmas Pageant, or your Lessons & Carols service! It tells the story of the camels who carry the three magi to Bethlehem through desert, and is pitched in an accessible key for most voices. The simple middle-eastern style melody is easy to learn, even for very young children, but interest is built through a key change, and three solo opportunities (with optional background vocals). Approximate performance time: 2:54. Use this piano accompaniment track for rehearsals or performances of both the unison and 2-part choir arrangements of this song.
This product is one song from a complete musical called The Animal Alleluia which is also available on Sheet Music Plus:(S0.549673)
