NOW THE GREEN BLADE RISETH (SING WE NOW OF CHRISTMAS)

for 2-Part Treble (or Mixed, ST/AB) Choir and Organ with Optional Violin and Cello (or C Instruments)

Season: Easter, Christmas

Tune: Noel Nouvelet (French carol)

This arrangement of the familiar tune (“Noël Nouvelet”) will be a quick learn for any choir and features colorful and flexible instrumental accompaniments. The violin and cello parts can be performed on any C instruments, or left out completely in favor of the organ alone. Conductors can get double use out of this anthem by using the Easter and Christmas lyrics.

Recorded by the WSU Chamber Singers, Hank Dahlman, Conductor.
