6 7 Composer Notes The Angel Gariel is a simple two-part choral setting of the text of a traditional Bque carol translated and paraphred y Saine Baring-Gould ( ) The familiar and uplifting Scriptural text of the Annunciation narrative upon which the carol is ed, eautifully and poetically unfolded and elaorated, appears the Gospel for the 4th Sunday of Advent Year B (Luke 1:26 38) The piece is especially effective a short anthem for the latter part of Advent In terms of overall mood, the musical setting focuses on the refrain ( Most highly favored lady ) where the narrative pauses and gives a rief moment to reflect on these central words The dynamics throughout and the quiet solo in verse 3 are key to setting the mood The vocal parts are written in close harmony, and so would suit any comination of equal voices women, children, or men The entire piece may e sung y the whole semly, since the melody is eily learned and the tessitura is moderate Any type of keyoard would e effective in providing the accompaniment ust enough melodic douling h een included to sist ut not dominate unnecessarily The melody eing fairly angular, effort should e made to render the accompaniment smoothly and gently The metronome indication suggests adequate, flowing movement inally, a gentle melody instrument (eg, flute) could e played in the introduction and interlude (using the up-stemmed keyoard notes), could doule the refrain melody, and play the descant in verse 4 to the end Andrew Wright The Angel Gariel
