This setting of the classic carol ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH was written for the annual PBS broadcast of Candles and Carols from Anderson, University. It explores subtle harmonic and stylistic changes and makes use of another traditional hymn in “telling the old, old story,” in a fresh musical approach. This arrangement has plenty of contrasts throughout to keep this old carol from loosing its drive and impact. This arrangement can served as either a concert opener or finale.
