Opis

This work is suitable for SATB and optional percussion (tambourine, small drum, hand-claps, or anything suitable). This lively setting of a traditional 19th-century English text (interspersed with a Latin refrain) recaptures the spirit of Bullard's earlier Angel Alleluias. With its straightforward harmony, snappy, syncopated rhythms, and optional use of basic percussion, this joyous carol would make a particularly rousing finale to any carol concert.

Recenzje

Alan Bullard's Come and Worship is jolly and well conceived for unaccompanied voices (with an optional percussion part) and shows what a skilful composer can do with a well sustained rhythmic idea.
