Programme note:

Programme note:
This carol, known as Angels We Have Heard on High in the USA, has words written by Scottish Poet James Montgomery. Since their first publication in 1825 they have been sung to numerous different tunes but the modern choice is a version of the French carol Anges dans nos campagnes.
Performance note:
Play with lightness of articulation throughout; even when accents are marked they should add energy to the pulse without being in any way hard. Let the semiquaver scales at D run - be clean but don't over-articulate. The melody shifts around the ensemble so take care to allow it to stand out from any accompaniment textures.
