Sep 21, 2026

Uploaded by Logic

Four-part chorus arrangement for mixed voices with handbells, scored at J=96, centered on the carol text beginning “Not in lordly state and splendor.” Lyrics describe the humble, lantern-lit coming of the new-born Christ, emphasizing glory “plied by angels’ wings” rather than earthly pomp. Includes performance markings and vocal parts (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass) alongside handbell cues for unison and harmonized passages, suitable for choral rehearsal and performance.
