O Come, O Come, Emmanuel—
arr. Teresa Jennings. This haunting, modal carol is
based on one of the earliest forms of sacred music
known - the chant or plainsong. This unique two-part
arrangement contrasts the rich melody in part 1 with
a rhythmic, contemporary counterpoint in part 2.
Real magic and a striking effect comes from a third
line played by an alto flute or with a small group
singing the melody on an "ah."
