While Shepherds Watched
Various Arr. Nigel Horne
Some
time ago the only carol that could be sung in church was "While Shepherds
Watched Their Flocks by Night". The text was sent around parishes all over
the country and many local tunes were then adapted to the words. There are
apparently at least 100 known settings of this carol. This setting has about 8
of them.
There is an optional choral part for an SATB to join in with the last verse,
the melody known as "Old Fosters".
As recorded by The New England
Brass Band on their CD, Christmas Joy.
Price/Difficulty code: B
