Christmas Spiritual
Jack Schrader has given this favorite Christmas spiritual a relaxed, big-band, 'swing style' setting. Arranged for SSATB voices with piano or orchestra, this fresh setting is sure to fill the season with joy and good will. Jack's printed notes ask the singers to embrace the text that describes the mission of those first shepherd-followers and you, too, will be led to the Savior of Bethlehem. Ideal for both adult or youth choirs in either church or school. The full orchestration by Don Hart consists of parts for: Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Horns 1 & 2, Trumpets 1, 2 & 3 (or Tuba), Percussion 1 & 2, Harp, Rhythm, Violins 1 & 2, Viola Cello and Bass.
