More about this title
About the Arranger: Keith Christopher
Keith Christopher has built a distinctive career bridging composition, arrangement, and music publishing for over three decades. Since 1992, he has received consecutive annual recognition from the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers, and his accolades include a Gold Record Award for his work with The Dallas Brass and a Dove Award for choral music. His catalog spans hundreds of published works across choir, band, and orchestra repertoire performed by ensembles worldwide.
Beyond composing and arranging, Christopher has shaped the music publishing industry as a prolific recording producer, having supervised over a thousand sessions for major publishers. His contributions extend to children's literature with The First Christmas Night, and his work remains centered in Nashville, Tennessee, where he continues creating accessible, performance-friendly arrangements across all ensemble types.
Why we love this
Christopher's sensitivity to the limitations and strengths of Grade 2 ensembles shines throughout this setting. Rather than simply transcribing the melody into first violin, he distributes musical interest so that second violin and viola players experience genuine engagement rather than padding parts. The optional key change and optional percussion add flexibility without complexity, letting you shape the piece to your ensemble's strengths.
What to expect
A quiet confidence settles over the ensemble as the melody unfolds. The familiar tune carries warmth and simplicity, while the thoughtful inner voicing creates subtle harmonic depth that audiences recognize even if they cannot name it. This is music that invites contemplation without demanding drama.
Who it's for
String orchestras at the intermediate level will find this arrangement rewarding without being taxing. It works equally well for community groups, school orchestras, and youth ensembles seeking accessible folk repertoire that respects every section's contribution.
How to get the most out of it
- Balance the melody against inner voices carefully during the key change. The shift in harmonic color will feel more significant if second violin and viola maintain their transparent support.
- If your violas are limited in number or ability, the arrangement remains fully effective without percussion accompaniment. Christopher wrote this piece to work either way.
- Take time in rehearsal to shape the gentle character. This folk ballad needs space and breath; resist the temptation to rush through the 2:10 duration.
How to use it
Pair this with contrasting rhythmic or modernized selections to demonstrate the breadth of your ensemble's range. The gentle character makes it an ideal opening piece for a concert, establishing focus and attention before moving to more energetic repertoire. It also functions beautifully as a spring or summer program closer that leaves listeners in a reflective mood.
