Description:
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing is one of the best-known and most popular Christmas carols in the Western repertoire. Originating in the 18th century, this joyful and solemn carol proclaims the birth of Christ with great radiance and conveys a message of hope and light. The majestic melody, combined with a deeply spiritual text, has transcended generations and national borders, which is reflected in the English, French (Écoutez le chant des anges) and German (Hört der Engel helle Lieder) versions. In this arrangement, Jirka Kadlec emphasizes the dignity of the original theme and at the same time gives it new freshness. The arrangement preserves the traditional spirit of the work and at the same time enriches its expression and contrasts. An indispensable Christmas piece that creates a festive, contemplative and at the same time radiant atmosphere.
