TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS[6:00] 2/1*-2/1-2/1-2/1, 4-3-3-1, timp+3, hp, cel, Tenor (or Soprano) Soloist, optional SATB Chorus, strings*
Clement Moore's classic Christmas poem receives an imaginative contemporary vocal setting, just in time for commemorating the 200th anniversary (2023) of the first publication of the poem. It's a marvelous showcase for a tenor or soprano soloist comfortable with the musical theatre genre. The SATB chorus parts add color and density, though are optional should a chorus not be available. |
