Silent Night
Michael John Trotta.
This beautiful setting of Silent Night employs the
original text with new music scored for SATB
a cappella voices and optional descant. Color reigns
supreme as the text is almost treated in a secondary

moment that captures the ear. A very distinctive and
memorable arrangement for any choir.

Veni Jesu
Douglas Green.
Featuring three refrain text options, as well as the
familiar text of O Come, O Come, Emmanuel, this
piece would be a lovely addition to any choir's
Christmas repertoire. The piece begins with a unison
tenor and bass line and then steadily adds parts until
it reaches a full four-part texture. Handbells provide
chords at the beginning of the piece and during the
verses, but this can also be performed a cappella.
