Description:
Set to the words of the famous hymn writer, James Montgomery, this short but joyous anthem for SATB chorus and organ by Herbert Chappell is suitable for any feast day or celebration, but is a particularly welcome addition to the Advent and Christmas repertory. The melodic theme was used by the BBC as the signature tune to the long running television programme, Songs of Praise throughout the 1980s and is suitable for choirs of all abilities. The opening text reads: 'Their songs of praise the angels sang, the sky with alleluias rang with songs of praise to greet the dawn, the day when Jesus Christ was born'.
