your tenors and basses, this piece includes the

tune. Your sopranos and altos will have fun
singing the bass line up an octave while the
tenors and basses then get to carry the melody.

How Far Is It to Bethlehem?—arr. Chris-
topher Walker. This traditional English folk
song offers a charming, childlike depiction of
the Nativity (also appropriate for Epiphany).
While the piece can be sung as written with
vocal harmonies on verses two and three, it
may also be presented as a unison anthem
with instrumental doubling options in place of
the vocal harmonies. The lilting triple meter of
the keyboard accompaniment works equally
well for both piano and organ.

and captivating moment for Christmas.
