CHRISTMAS IN BOHEMIA by Václav Nelhýbel (1919-1996) is a collage of well-known Czech Christmas carols dear to the composer. Choral parts are easy to sing as they dialogue together. Nelhýbel’s writing for Strings and Winds is superb and logical with a moderate difficulty level complimenting the choral singing. A soloist may be used instead of the choir. The scoring is inventive, fresh and expresses a spirit which is very much alive! Chamber Orchestra and Mixed SATB Choir. Czech pronunciation guide provided. Vocal Choir octavo. Grade: 4 Duration: 6:00
