Rhapsody On An Ancient Carol

(Low D, E, F#, G, A, B, C, D. OPT. PT. 2 G, A, B. OPT. Alto PT. G, A, B, C, D, E, high G.)

This very special recorder work is set with full orchestra and gives you several options for your players. Our ancient carol is one of the oldest, "Adeste Fideles," often sung as "O Come All Ye Faithful." This rhapsody presents the song with drama and a good bit of contrast.

There are two soprano and one alto recorder parts, but the way the work is scored, it can be performed with any or all of the recorder parts, even just the easy soprano part. (from Music K-8, Vol. 20, No. 2)
