Commi
ssioned by the
Anglo-Chinese Junior
College Alumni Choir,
Singapore, and first
performed in December
2018, The Isaiah Carol
uses text from the book
of Isaiah which tells of
the of the profound
changes in the world that
come with the arrival of
the Messiah at Christmas
(The wolf will live with
the lamb, the leopard
will lie down with the
goat...). The peaceful
character of the music
reflects the hope and
concord of the text, and
incorporates Arnesens
characteristic warm
harmonies and beautiful
melodic craftmanship.
Each verse is
interspersed with
alleluias which build to
celebratory climaxes and
harmonic twists which
will delight both
performer and audience.
Suitable for intermediate
choirs, this carol is
sure to become a
favourite for both
Christmas concerts and
Services.
