OCTAVO SPOTLIGHT
Come, Ye Faithful, Raise the Strain
Jeffrey Honoré
This approachable choral setting of GAUDEAMUS PARITER is an excellent choice for smaller, skilled SAB choirs with a strong men’s section, whose part carries the melody on Verses 2 and 5. The festive percussion part (comprising hand drum, wood block, and triangle) pairs well with the dance-like meter of the hymn tune and together with the flute part adds sonic variety and verve to the organ accompaniment. This title is intended for use throughout the season of Easter.
