The Angel Cried - Digital Score
Valaam Melody, in English
SSAATTBB Chorus & Unison Children’s Choir
original arr. by M. Balakirev; trans. J. Erickson expanded and edited by B. Sheehan (2022)
Capture the joy of the Easter season in this highly singable, multi-generational choral anthem! This rousing arrangement of a Marian Paschal hymn from the Eastern Orthodox tradition makes a perfect finale for any Easter or spring concert.
The unaccompanied arrangement begins with the original chant melody sung by a unison treble choir, and adds voices throughout the hymn, concluding with an exciting final phrase in strong, broad 8-part divisi (9, with optional bass 3 octavists).
The original chant melody is repetitive enough to be easily learned while the arrangement provides variety enough to be engaging and exciting. It’s sure to become an ensemble favorite!
