Opis

Suitable for SATB, piano, and percussion, this setting is taken from the well-known carol in which the "Five Gold Rings" refrain is re-written to appear in an array of guises: gentle soprano solo, swinging barbershop quartet, hard funk, and rock gospel style. It is for an SATB choir but retains the flexibility to include 'guest' performers.

Recenzje

It could just about be sung by one very versatile chorus, but might suit best a jubilee occasion at which different choral groups were involved, each taking an appropriate star turn.
