Description:
Featuring three refrain text options—“Veni Jesu,” “Come, Lord Jesus” and “Maranatha”—as well as the familiar text of “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel,” this piece by Douglas Green would be a lovely addition to any choir’s Christmas repertoire. The piece begins with a unison tenor and bass line and then steadily adds parts until it reaches a full four-part texture. Handbells provide chords at the beginning of the piece and during the verses, but it can also be performed a cappella.
For six handbells.
