Noël, Noël

With the success of his SATB version of this work (50-1022), Carl Schalk was prompted to adapt it for men's voices. While he specifies organ and handbells (3 octaves) or celesta, we can see a variety of performance options (harp and/or piano playing the handbell and/or organ parts for example). The part-writing is approchable and engaging (although a brief part of it is a cappella) and will insure an effective result with either a large or small men's group.
