Part of the Beckenhorst Congregational Anthem Series, Molly Ijames' setting of The First Noel works equally well as an Easy SATB anthem or as a congregational anthem. Choral parts are easily learned but elegant and satisfying, and piano (or optional orchestra) adds motion and interest, creating a setting that can work everywhere from a small church choir to a large Christmas program with full orchestra. A wonderfully useable staple for many Christmases to come!
