A Ceremony Of Spirituals

“A Ceremony of Spirituals” is modeled after Benjamin Britten's “A Ceremony of Carols.” The spirituals compiled in this work convey the events surrounding the birth of the Christ Child. The work comprises two distinct sections - the proclamation of Jesus' birth followed by the adoration of Mary and the baby Jesus. Scored for treble voices and harp, “A Ceremony of Spirituals” captures the wonderment and tenderness of the season. Best suited to middle school, high school, collegiate, church and community treble choirs, it is a perfect companion piece to the Britten work or as an alternative option.
