Fantasia on O Come, O Come Emmanuel
Publisher Desc.
Your String Orchestra will enjoy playing this inventive and stirring
setting of the great Advent/Christmas hymn "O Come, O Come
Emmanuel" (VENI EMMANUEL). Written in a Neo-Renaissance style, it sets
all seven verses modulating into four keys while passing the melody from
voice to voice before concluding with several sudden and surprising key
changes that lead to a powerful cadence on the altered note of the Picardy
third. It may be performed alone or with a choir. The choral editions are
published in either English (S0.1144315) or Latin (S0.1144377). They are the
first of Three Motets on Latin Christmas Hymns. The other motets in this
series are settings of "Of the Father's Love Begotten" (CORDE NATUS
EX PARENTIS) and "O Come, All Ye Faithful" (ADESTE FIDELIS), which
are also available in English or Latin. For more music and information visit
