Having seen, and even published, several settings of this Austrian carol, we must say that this setting is especially appealing with its continual 4-part choral texture, moving eighths, lullabylike accompaniment, and a simplicity that assures most choirs of the ability to master it with minimal rehearsal time. Keyboard or String Quartet The keyboard part may be omitted if the strings are present. This is a nice and not too difficult SATB arrangement of an Austrian carol which may be accompanied by a keyboard or a string quartet |
