This commissioned work was first performed by a State Festival Chorus and
was very successful for the men’s group.
The music is arranged by Bob Walters, former arranger (Ret) for the U.S.
Air Force Chorus known as the “Singing Sergeants”.
There is a very minor amount of optional divisi in First Tenors, and allows
for those who have a higher range to reach an Ab. Otherwise, all of the parts
are very accessible for men’s groups. The arrangement is not difficult, but
does use some interesting harmonic movement. It can be sung very
dramatically, or very smoothly depending on the occasion you choose it for.
Bob’s first arrangements for male chorus occurred in 1961 when an entire
program of Sacred Christmas music was created for a chorus of 101 men
singers from the combined members of the Marine, Air Force, Army, and
Navy choral groups for a special performance at the White House for
President John and First Lady Jackie Kennedy.
Included here is a sound file of the music, created synthetically by the
“Finale” software program using neutral “ah” syllables.
Permission is granted to copy this music for the number of persons in the
group it is intended for. Pricing includes the permission for all copies.
