David Conte: The Snow Lay on the Ground: Chœur Mixte et Piano/Orgue

Released in 2007, this original setting of an anonymous 19th-century text is written in verse-anthem style. The scoring for chorus, harp, and keyboard makes it an ideal companion piece for Britten’s A Cermony of Carols and Susa’s Carols and Lullabies. Equally effective with organ or piano, making it practical for use in both churches and schools. This is especially true for the three new arrangements with keyboard accompaniment only. Duration 4:00
