About Bring a Torch:
Bring a Torch (2011) is a short, simple, two-part arrangement of a beloved French Christmas carol for soprano and alto voices. It makes for a great way to highlight a choir's female voices at Christmas, or would work for a women's choir.

While I do not have a live human recording of this piece, I have included a MIDI audio rendering of the score to give you a sense of the piece. As always, bear in mind that electronic choral/vocal samples are unable to interpret lyric texts, so you will not hear any of the text of the piece, only "ah's".
