Smoky Mountain Christmas

Three Appalachian Carols
Snowy hilltops, timeless family traditions, and the warmth of a hearth—the atmosphere of a Smoky Mountain Christmas is captured in this arrangement of three traditional Appalachian carols arranged by Andrew Dabcyznski. The simple modal melodies of “Star of the East” and “Babe of Bethlehem” are passed throughout the orchestra, before concluding with the stirring spiritual “Rise Up Shepherd and Follow.” The keys, meters, and bowings are all playable by second-year string students, but intermediate and advanced students also will find this to be a satisfying holiday concert piece.
