Review:
The tunes "Mendelssohn" and "Christmas" are used in this delightful Christmas medley. "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" is presented in primarily chordal format followed by a more flowing setting of "While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night." A majestic 2nd verse of Hark the Herald Angels Sing" closes the piece. Sherman's original material provides nice transitions between the themes. It is 104 measures in length and is set in F Major, Bb Major, and Eb Major.
