The First Noel is a great new presentation of a traditional carol for SSAA children's chorus.

Winning entry for the 2007 NBC "Clash of the Choirs" Challenge.  

The First Noel was composed for the Boston Children's Chorus under the direction of Mr. Anthony Trecek King.

A comment on the excerpt used for the NBC competition - "What a wonderful, soulful rendition of this Christmas classic.  Congratulations to Boston Children's Chorus!"

Premiere: Boston Children's Chorus - Dec 2007

Range: Ab to Ab; majority of the piece is between Bb and Eb

Difficulty: Moderate - Excellent piece for 5th and 6th grade age group.  It is easy to learn and shows off the vocal qualities of a youthful choir.

NOTE:  The published version of The First Noel! incorporates a sixth verse and, therefore, varies from the original version recorded by the Boston Children's Chorus.
