Susan Geschke has given us a fresh and dynamic 2-3 octave setting of the ever-popular Christmas spiritual, "Go, Tell It on the Mountain." The joy of Christ's birth is felt from the start as the piece opens with a driving, syncopated rhythm on mallets. Soft LVs and the echo technique provide a moment of quiet reflection before returning to the driving energy of the opening. Very accessible, this exciting Level 2 setting cannot help but add to the joyous spirit of the Christmas season.
