Angels We Have Heard On High is a wonderfully engaging and accessible Christmas song which would be idea for any female choir, large or small, and for any seasonal concert or church service.

The composer originally arranged this popular carol for a 2-part children’s choir. She has since expanded the arrangement, while keeping her gentle, lilting melody, and the new version is an accessible and rewarding S.A. arrangement with a colourful and supportive piano accompaniment.
