MICHAEL CULLOTONComfort, Comfort Now My PeopleSSAA Chorus, Flute, and optional Hand Drum ad lib.“I really enjoy the lilt of the original tune, and was drawn to arrange it when I was struggling to find up-tempo music for the season of Advent that my women’s choir would enjoy singing. Work to make sure that the music maintains an air of ‘dance’ to it. To help with this, you may consider adding an ad libitum hand drum…the second verse allows …the flute becomes a partner in the storytelling as the crying voice, warning cry, rising valleys, and bowing hills.” —Michael Culloton.
