Boosey & Hawkes
Boosey & Hawkes — The Angels' Song (SATB divisi a cappella)
This carol sets the final three verses of Sara Teasdale s light-hearted retelling of the nativity story, in which a host of angels arrive at the stable, and herald the birth with their joyful song. This piece is characterized by a buoyant “Alleluia” motif, lifted staccato notes, and by the lively rhythm which is constantly alternating between 7/8 and compound time. Each verse ends with a sequential refrain beginning in the upper voices in a nod to the structure of traditional Christmas carols. The ending of the carol, using silence and repetition, is intended to bring the last line of poetry to life in a humorous way!
