O Come, O Come, Emmanuel (Orchestration)

Up-tempo and dancelike, this setting of O Come, O Come, Emmanuel is a joyful and energetic arrangement of what is typically a slower, more contemplative advent song. Rhythmically it follows a repeating pattern of 7/8 and 2/4 measures. Arranged by Garrett Breeze for SSATTB and SAB choir, the arrangement also incorporates the latin text of the Greater Doxology (Gloria in Excelsis).
