Fun and full of energy, this setting of the iconic Christmas lyric, It Came Upon a Midnight Clear, utilizes a musical classic by William Billings. Liberal use of unison and 2 part riting along ith very easy SATB voicings make this an easy to prepare, yet unforgettable selection for seasonal performances. It is equally effective ith piano (harpsichord) or the infectious orchestral accompaniment. TOM FETTKE is a composer, arranger and producer of music and recordings for the church and school.
