This setting to the Irish Folk Song The Bonny Light Horseman, arranged for SSATB choir, piano and violin, with optional organ is a delightful alternative to the well-known STUTTGART hymn. The violin part (or another C instrument), while not necessitous, is certainly characteristic to the Celtic feel. Chorally, this arrangement is not demanding. The enchanting notes of the violin provide a sweet ending to this charming piece for Advent. SATB choirs of all abilities will find this setting accessible and pleasing.
