Steve Warner paired a text by John Bowring with the tune ABERYSTWYTH by Joseph Parry in this superb arrangement. We begin with the shimerring sounds of handbells as the dulcet tones of the flute softly outline the melody and lead us to the first verse, sung by unison men's voice with guitar, strings, and organ. Succeeding verses offer well-conceived compositional devices including modulation, varied vocal textures with countermelodies, and instrumental interludes. Watchman, Tell Us of the Night exudes a sense of tranquility and peace. A marvelous addition to your Christmas repertoire!

Choral (SATB)

SKU: HL.347024

Composed by Nick Strimple. Pavane Choral. Concert, Traditional. Octavo. 8 pages. Pavane Publishing #NS0025. Published by Pavane Publishing (HL.347024).

UPC: 840126926521. 6.75x10.5x0.019 inches.

Nick Strimple has composed a set of three easy anthems, and lacking in difficulty is absolutely true. But elegant and distinguished also describes these settings of familiar texts. The words by 19th century English poet John Bowring is the least known text, but it is timeless and speaks of God's enduring love. The organ accompaniment contains scrumptious suspensions and resolutions for an anthem that works equally well as a choral piece, a solo, or for unison choir.
