Angels We Have Heard on High (Anniversary Carols)

Description

Angels We Have Heard on High is one of America's most beloved carols. It comes to us from the French countryside where it emerged anonymously as a macaronic carol (that is, with a text a melange of Latin and vernacular French,) probably in the 1700s, called Les angel dans nos campagnes. Jackson Berkey's arrangement is strikingly individual, with its particular non-strophic handling of the text.
