Product Description

2016 Choral Contest Entry

This now traditional French carol was written by Bernard de La Monnoye (1641-1728) and was first published in 1720. Its original title was "Guillô, Pran Ton Tamborin". The carol centres on the birth of Jesus, and is told from the perspective of simple folk playing simple instruments like flutes and drums. This unique and captivating mixed choir arrangement (SSATB a cappella) successfully combines both traditional and modern choral elements to inspire and challenge choirs. In line with the text, the vocal parts take on an instrumental role (drum and flute) in a series of interludes woven between the four verses, while the underlying Bass ostinato gives a stylish, upbeat rhythmic flavour. A great piece for holiday concerts!
