Aaron J. Fisher is a music composition graduate from Arkansas State University. He is currently residing in Jonesboro, Arkansas, where he is an active composer for Men’s, Women’s, Chamber, and Mixed choirs at Arkansas State University. He has also done numerous arrangements for Vocal Jazz and several other bands in the surrounding area. Mr. Fisher is active as a church music director, musician and jazz pianist. He is also a percussionist, an accomplished vocalist, and a well-rounded individual who lives with a strong faith in God and lives with passion and dedication towards life and music.
INSPIRATION “Angels We Have Heard on High” is a traditional Christmas song that brings forth the spirit of the holidays while exemplifying the savior that was born. This reimagining of a Christmas classic came from the composer experimenting with different harmonies as well as trying to find different ways to make the melody evolve and excite the listener. The final two sections of the song derive from the original melody and instead bring forth the free harmonies that the composer is mostly known for. Here’s hoping that anyone who wishes to tackle this song comes full force with the Christmas spirit. The vocal agility and precision can only be replicated if it’s performers are filled with Christmas cheer and tidings of comfort and joy.
