This arrangement of It Came Upon the Midnight Clear features the melody repeated in the cello 1 part as the other two cellists traverse varied accompaniments. Initially, sparse traded statements lightly adorn the melody. Then, a mysterious rhythmic arpeggio pattern emerges. After all three parts come together to explore some atypical harmonic material, the final two verses break into a repeated complete statement in four-part harmony. The traditional harmonization is achieved through selective use of double stops trading between the cello 2 and cello 3 parts to minimize difficulty.
