Il est ne le divin enfant

Composers:
  • Berkey, Jackson
Detailed Instrumentation: SATB
Description:

Il est n‚ is a traditional French melody with a text which first appeared about 1875. The decision to set this familiar tune in English left enough to be desired that the composer decided to maintain some of the French style lost in the lingual translation. Historically, this arrangement also compares nicely with the old Normandy hunting tune’s original appearance in 6/8 meter. The ‘tambour’ is a drum similar to our snare drum but played without the snares on.
