Various Arrangers : Caribbean Christmas : SATB : Sheet Music Collection

Various Arrangers : Caribbean Christmas

Escape to a tropical paradise this Christmas with this happy holiday song! Bright Caribbean rhythms and buoyant melodies add a special sparkle. "Haitian Noel" - The Haitian folk carol is in the style of a Merengue and will give your concert Caribbean sparkle! A pronunciation guide is provided for the Creole lyrics and English lyrics are also included. "The Virgin Mary Had A Baby Boy" - This arrangement explores the Caribbean style known as "Afro-Cuban": independent melodic lines with strong rhythmic pulses are superimposed to build up textures that are both rich and translucent. Every section of the choir is spot-lit; every section gets its turn to lead. The piece would especially suit a choir in search of something seasonal but upbeat which is not a "novelty number."
