Shawnee Press Shepherd's Carol SATB Composed by Celsie Staggers

Ruth Elaine Schram has a special gift for writing memorable melodies. This piece is no exception as she tenderly cradles a picturesque text with exquisite tuneful beauty. The contrasting middle section is a challenge for all to hurry and behold the Savior: Run, run, run to Bethlehem! See this thing which has come to pass... Then the quietness of the manger returns with a quote from the familiar carol: O come, let us adore Him. The optional flute part adds a lovely shimmer to this beautiful nocturne. Shepherd's Carol is a must for your Christmas programming.
