Finnish Carol with
additional words by Dan
Miner.
Accompanied
by piano and oboe, this
traditional carol offers
treble choirs an
opportunity to explore
the beauty of traditional
Finnish music. This
arrangement offers each
voice part the
opportunity to lead as
well as harmonize the
melody throughout the
verses. Care should be
taken to ensure the
melody is properly
balanced through the
harmonization in each
verse. Tenutos are marked
throughout to help choirs
discover the simplistic
beauty of this carol.
Marked pitches should be
stressed, but not
accented. To further aid
in the flow of the
melodic line, I suggest a
slight crescendo in each
measure from beat 4 over
the bar-line into beat 1
(as in m. 16-17) unless
otherwise marked. An
English paraphrase is
offered in addition to
the original Finnish text
to make this song
accessible to choirs of
all abilities. It is my
sincere hope that through
this arrangement, choirs
and audiences will fall
in love with this
simplistically beautiful
carol! Finnish
