Far, Far Away reflects the glory of Christmas and the joyful hope that attends the phrase “peace on earth, good will toward men.” Two pianists are required, and may find the music a bit of a challenge, but the straightforward, four-part chorus allows the choir to powerfully express the grandeur of the Savior’s birth.

When performed with the optional flute, violin and cello, this piece has a resounding effect while still being appropriate for a Sunday Christmas program.

    We did this arrangement 2 years ago with 2 violins and cello. It was AWESOME. We received so many compliments. We got such a great response the first time, we’re doing it again. This year I only have a violinist in my ward so I had decided to just do it with the 4-hand piano. Now my sister, who plays the flute amazingly just let me know she’s coming in town. Do you think it would sound ok with piano, violin, and flute? Thanks for everything. We LOVE your arrangements.

    Thanks so much. I really appreciate hearing from you – your kind words and encouragement really keep me going. I think this piece would sound just fine with violin and flute. The four-hand piano part covers all of the harmony and you can easily add the flute and violin for decoration. Good luck with the performance this year. I hope the music invites the spirit and enhances your meeting. Thanks again!

    I am a brand new choir director and was so pleased to find your website. I used this song in our ward Christmas program two weeks ago. It was my absolute favorite of the three pieces we put together, and the choir loved it as well. The accompaniment was big and dramatic – perfect for bringing a sense of joy. The choir sounded wonderful, and we received many compliments. Thank you so much for being generous with your music!
