Vocal Solos
Alfred Publishing Co.
The second release in this vocal solo series is even better than the
first. Hayes has crafted ten arrangements for the Christmas season,
each of which runs the gamut stylistically. The playful setting of
“Bring a Torch, Jeannette Isabella” features an optional French text
and is set in a true art song style. “Jesus, Oh What a Wonderful Child”
will have your audiences wanting to clap along with its black gospel
feel and improvisatory style. “The Coventry Carol” blends a taste of
“Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” in a minor mode with this poignant carol.
Hayes’ setting of “Silent Night” in German is especially captivating
with its challenging but exquisite accompaniment. These solos are
perfect for worship settings, Christmas Eve services, concerts, and
holiday gatherings. Intersperse them in a Christmas choral program for
a change of pace. If you don’t have a pianist available for performance
or rehearsal, sing to the accompaniment CD, featuring Mark Hayes on the
piano.
