This original version of this carol medley was commissioned by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra in 1992 and has been performed nationwide on Holiday and Christmas programs – both in the concert hall and for church-based presentations. This version of the work is scored for Soprano Solo, SSAA Chorus with piano or orchestral accompaniment.

The following four carols appear, without interruption, in this manner:

  • Shiloh (William Billings)
  • Joy To the World
  • Silent Night (German / English)
  • Angels We Have Heard On High

This arrangement has also been voiced for SATB [RBM-103] and TTBB [RBM-103a]and may be performed using any of the available accompaniments.

The final section of this arrangement, Angels We Have Heard On High [RBM-014], has been extracted as a separate publication, and is also available voiced for TTBB [RBM-014a]. The accompanying orchestration for this extract is also available for rental.

This piece has been commercially recorded by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and Chorus on their 2000 CD release Dallas Christmas Gala, Delos Recording #3267.
