The memorable carol While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks is intermingled with hints of The First Noel, Hark! the Herald Angels Sing and Il Est Ne. Theoptional C or B-flat instrumental line adds interest to this fun and accessible setting. Tabled mallets bring a joyful bounce to the opening sequence, followed by a slow and thoughtful rendering of the carol as the solo instrument soars above with a lovely obbligato. A grand and stately proclamation rounds out the arrangement. This work is ideal for church, school or concert venues during the Advent or Christmas season.
