Sans Day Carol

Accompanied; SATB

Available for the first time as a single octavo, Rutter’s arrangement of this buoyant Cornish carol is sure to continue to delight choirs and audiences alike. Recognising the frequency with which this popular piece is performed with organ accompaniment, the composer has taken the opportunity of this anniversary edition to make an organ reduction of the orchestral material. With its combination of pagan and Christian imagery and references to the Crucifixion and Resurrection, this carol is well suited to performance at Passiontide and Easter, as well as at Christmas.

Orchestration: 2fl (I+picc), 2ob, bsn, 2hn, str
