I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

Arranged by Ryan James Brandau

A majestic, Romantic setting of Longfellow’s “Christmas Day,” for SATB, baritone solo, and orchestra. Interludes between verses feature poignant solos in the orchestra, and the final verse builds to a Mahler-inspired climax. A magnificent vehicle for an operatic or musical theater baritone (in Eb) or tenor (in F).

Duration: 4:00
