This beloved Christmas carol arrangement features 3 exciting stanzas, including an energetic introduction, a more delicate middle stanza, a thrilling key change, and an even more appealing final stanza. The keys have been lowered for easier voice ranges. The first two stanzas are in E-flat, and the final stanza modulates to F. This arrangement should be very easy and intuitive to follow for all musicians and singers. Includes a full score, a piano score, and all individual instrumental parts are offered in the complete set: Flute 1, 2, Flute 3/Oboe, Clarinet in B-flat, Trumpet in B-flat, Horn in F, Trombone 1, 2, Tuba, Violin, Viola, Cello, Double Bass, and various percussion instruments.
Real Responses from Congregations
The beautiful accompaniment and the unison congregation could be used both congregationally and chorally (as we did)… For small to medium-sized choirs on low attendance Sundays these could be effective choral pieces or as a way to develop choir and orchestra when (as is our case) some choir members are also instrumentalists. We used three pieces as part of our Easter celebration. All were very well received. We were able to include our developing orchestra with all of it. So, thank you!

Molly plays for the church my mother-in-law attends. The congregation becomes like a big choir with her arrangements. I’ve enjoyed the music when we’ve visited!

It is with the greatest enthusiasm that I recommend the hymnody work of Molly. Whether you are looking for accessible yet creative arrangements to new hymns or seeking to add energy and a fresh approach to hymns you have sung for years, herein lies your answer! Our people love to sing and the material found on this website has brought life to our singing that was not there before.
