How Far Is It to Bethlehem? is a traditional English melody set to lyrics by Frances Chesterton. This Orchestral Arrangement augments the Two-part Vocal and Keyboard Arrangement of Molly Ijames available from The Lorenz Corp. Item Number 279745.
This Orchestral Arrangement was created for the youth of a large church congregation. We had Young Women sing part I and Young Men sing part II. The orchestra consisted of both high school orchestra members and non-professional adults from the congregation. The music was simple and quickly learned. This piece was a favorite among about a dozen pieces performed as part of a Christmas Nativity Program in 2016 and again in 2023.
