Choral Leaflets/Octavos Christmas<br />
Snow Angel<br />
SATB or SSAA, solo cello, djembe, and piano<br />
SATB Vocal score 9780193512290<br />

Cello part 9780193514515<br />
Snow Angel is an evocative five-movement choral work,<br />
for either SATB or SSAA choir, that explores themes of<br />
love, rebirth, and beauty through the eyes of children<br />
and the heavenly army of angels that watch over them,<br />
yearning to make a difference to their lives. The work<br />
may be performed with narration, in which three angels<br />
present their perspectives on their earthly charges. <strong>Quartel</strong><br />
weaves a haunting and poignant cello line throughout the<br />
work, with a vibrant part for djembe in movement four.<br />
The musical language is emotive and pictorial, allowing<br />
performers to play an active role in the storytelling.<br />

<strong>Sarah</strong> <strong>Quartel</strong> brings a fresh take on a familiar fifteenthcentury<br />
text in this carol for upper voices. The dialogue<br />
between Mary and the infant Jesus is woven to a beguiling<br />
folk-like melody, in 6/8 metre, through each of the voice<br />
parts, with each verse ending in the lilting refrain ‘Lully, by<br />
by, lullay’.<br />

<strong>Quartel</strong>’s arrangement of this well-known Irish carol is<br />
distinctly refreshing, characterized in part by its charming<br />
and sparkling piano part. The middle section offers<br />
an opportunity for both the choir and pianist to shine<br />
individually, and explores further the beautiful modal<br />
harmonies of the original melody.<br />

This work was inspired by the Radcliffe Ladies’ Choir and<br />
their motto: “Friendship through singing.” The lilting vocal<br />
lines are underpinned by a delicate piano part, and the<br />
opening performance direction “contentedly rocking”<br />
describes the overall nature of the piece: easygoing,<br />
peaceful, and content. Popular as an SSA and SATB choral<br />
piece, it has now been skillfully adapted as a vocal solo<br />
with piano accompaniment for high or low voice.<br />
