Lo The Heavenly Choirs Are Singing

"Lo The Heavenly Choirs Are Singing" is a bright and triumphant carol that captures the sheer joy of the Nativity. From the very first measure, the song invites the choir to join the angelic host in their song of praise. The verses paint a vivid picture of heavenly courts ringing with music, calling the congregation to journey to the crib and adore the newborn King.

In the choir loft, this piece shines during the Christmas season, especially at Midnight Mass or daytime Christmas services. The arrangement features a lovely call-and-response in the refrain, where the lower voices announce the "wondrous story" before the upper voices respond with the birth in Bethlehem, culminating in a full, resounding harmony of "Peace on earth, good will to men." It is a wonderful choice for choirs looking to bring a festive energy to their Christmas repertoire, lifting the spirits of the whole church.
