{"product_id":"rejoice-in-the-light","title":"Rejoice in the light","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eWritten for a 2024 commission from Jonathan Harris for Newport Pagnell Singers, the music for Rejoice in the light came to composer Ben Ponniah in a dream. It possesses a rugged, medieval character similar to, and therefore an ideal companion for, the well-known 16th-century carol 'Gaudete'. The text, adapted from a 19th-century poem by Josiah Gilbert Holland ('There's a song in the air! There's a star in the sky!') and portraying great joy at the birth of Jesus, is initially shared between the upper and lower voices before they come together, via a more lyrical verse and passages of canon, to the explosive climax of the piece. An upbeat addition to the modern Christmas choral repertoire, with no divisi, sure to be a favourite with audiences and congregations.Instrumentation:mixed choir (SATB) a cappella\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWeitere Angaben\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eUnbekannt (PI), Noten | Chorpartitur (Rückendrahtheftung), Englisch\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Weltbild.ch: Bücher \u0026 Outlet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65914731168093,"sku":"K010766297","price":3.3,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/8915\/0045\/files\/1076629700001A.jpg?v=1789360736","url":"https:\/\/weltbild.ch\/products\/rejoice-in-the-light","provider":"Weltbild.ch Bücher \u0026 Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
