for SATB (with soprano solo), trumpet in B flat (or soprano saxophone or clarinet in B flat), and piano or harp
The shepherds sing is a sweet and tranquil setting of a Christmas text by George Herbert. With an atmospheric accompaniment created by rippling arpeggio lines in the piano/harp and a simple instrumental countermelody, it begins with a beautiful soprano solo before opening out into gentle choral harmonies. The shepherds sing is featured on the Wroclaw Philharmonic Choir's CD of Bob Chilcott's music.
