Hodie is a Cantata Fantasia of Christmas Chorals in 16 movements for chorus, boys choir, organ, soloists and orchestra by British composer Ralph Vaughan Williams. Some of the text is from scripture and some from the pen of famous poets.
James Bates has beautifully arranged two of the unaccompanied choral movements from the work for four trombones:
No. 1: No Sad Thought (XV)
No. 2: The Blessed Son of God (V)
The music is appropriate for moderately advanced performers and will be a great addition to any Christmas performances.
