Empreintes

J'veux pas qu'tu meures

From program notes by Matthew Culloton, 2004:  
"Abbie Betinis, commissioned by The Singers to provide an arrangement for this inaugural concert, chose to arrange William Walker's shapenote tune, The Babe of Bethlehem. She beautifully reworked this simple melody into vintage Betinis: shifting chords, many meters, and colorful moods. Follow along with the text and see how Abbie crafted her exciting arrangement perfectly around the story."

As recorded by The Singers--Minnesota Choral Artists (Matthew Culloton, conductor) on the CD entitled "Shout the Glad Tidings."  Buy the full track on iTunes!

(The last cadence is one of my favorites!  Unfortunately, you can't hear it here...)
