    Effective Choral Accompaniment

    This Roger Emerson octavo for 3-Part Mixed presents a thoughtful holiday selection. The “cluster and quartal harmony” in the accompaniment provides excellent, non-doubling support for the voices, creating a rich texture. The “lyrical middle section” offers strong interpretive possibilities for dynamic shaping and vocal phrasing. It's very suitable for developing or community choirs, supporting a good range of vocal abilities.
