Sussex Carol by Ralph Vaughan Williams 4-Part - Digital Sheet Music

By Ralph Vaughan Williams

"Sussex Carol" was originally composed by the British composer Ralph Vaughn Williams and published in his collection Eight Traditional English Carols in 1919. The name of this carol comes from the location where it was collected, near West Sussex. It was originally sung by Harriet Verrall.This setting of "Sussex Carol" features a sparkling piano accompaniment, reflective of the night sky, referring to the lines of the first verse: "On Christmas night all Christians sing to hear the news the angels bring." The third verse features a canonic structure in the key of E-flat major, transitioning back to the original key of G major for a powerful, final verse.
