## Summary

Rehearsal accompaniment choral score for 'Hark! the Herald Angels Sing' arranged for full orchestra and chorus, composed by Felix Mendelssohn.

## Description

The melody we know today for "Hark! the Herald Angels Sing" was originally written by Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) in 1840 as secular music for his Festgesang or Gutenberg Cantata to honor the creation of the printing press. British musician William Hayman Cummings adapted Mendelssohn's melody to fit the text of "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" in 1855, and the music and text have been associated ever since. This version of the holiday classic has been arranged and orchestrated by Arthur Harris for full orchestra and chorus. Instrumentation: 3+Picc.2+EH.2+BCl.2+CBsn: 4.4.3.1: Timp.Perc(3-4): Hp: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set): Mix Chor. The set of orchestral score and parts and a choral score for the vocalists are available separately from the publisher. This piano accompaniment score is for rehearsals only.
