What Strangers Are These?—Dan Forrest.
Adapted from an old Scottish carol, this sensitive
new setting is accompanied with piano, flute and
classical guitar. The piece celebrates not only
Jesus' humble birth but the plan of redemption
that began to unfold at the stable in Bethlehem
on Christmas night. A rich musical tapestry, this
striking choral offering is particularly effective for
Christmas Eve services.

While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks—Craig
Courtney. Every syllable of Nahum Tate's Christmas
text is carefully rendered in Craig Courtney's new
melody, set for divisi choral forces and piano. A
sound rhapsody through every measure, this is
absolutely glorious music for mixed, men's or
women's choir that might be the expressive high
point of your December Christmas celebration.

All My Heart This Night Rejoices—Z. Randall
Stroope. "All my heart this night rejoices, as I
hear, far and near, sweetest angel voices..." The
composer has adapted portions of the original
English text translation in this magnificent a
cappella setting. Stroope's mastery of the choral
idiom is clearly evident in every phrase of this
deeply emotional work.

Cradle Hymn—Kim Andre Arnesen. Arnesen's
beautifully expressive piece is set to a poem by the
famous hymn writer Isaac Watts. Featured on the
2013 St. Olaf Christmas concert broadcast from
Norway, this hymn is perfect for Christmas or any
time of the year.

H Fantasia on Christmas Carols—Ralph Vaughan
Williams. A "Fantasia" in the truest sense, this
choral tapestry of English carols was composed
in 1912 after Vaughan-Williams had completed
the scores for his first symphony ("The Sea"),
and the Tallis Fantasia. In this relatively short
work for Baritone soloist, chorus and orchestra,
we find the essence of Vaughan-Williams style
and compositional mastery - hallmarks of a richly
productive artistic output that defined a nationalist
movement in music that continues to this day.
Centered on four traditional carols: The Truth Sent
From Above; Come All You Worthy Gentlemen; On
Christmas Night; and There Is A Fountain; it also
features fragments of other well-known carol tunes.

t
Patapan—arr. David Conte. This charming a
cappella setting of the familiar carol has a bright,
rhythmic ostinato pattern that moves between the
sections of the choir. The Christmas story is told
from the perspective of shepherds playing simple
instruments - flutes and drums - the onomatopoetic
sound of which gives the carol its name. "Pat-a-
pan" is meant to mimic the sound of the drum, and
an accompanying lyric, "tu-re-lu-re-lu," the flute.

Rejoice and Sing!—John Rutter. This joyful,
sprightly carol comes from Sir David Willcocks: A
Celebration in Carols. With its uplifting 7/8 time
signature, memorable melody, rich and diverse
textures, and delightful orchestral accompaniment,
this carol is a fitting tribute to one of the great
names synonymous with Christmas.

Ht Serenity (O Magnum Mysterium)—Ola Gjeilo.
For a cappella mixed voices with violin or cello (parts
included), this soundscape on the traditional O
Magnum Mysterium text has long phrases that seem
to suspend the listener in space. A full six minutes in
duration, it is a stunningly beautiful contribution to the
repertoire for medium-advanced choirs!

There Is No Rose—Z. Randall Stroope.
Floating suspensions and understated piano lines
characterize Randall Stroope's haunting setting of
the beautiful Christmas text from the 15th century.
Scored for women's voices, piano and oboe, it is a
rich, emotive selection for the holiday season.

Antiphonal Deck the Hall—Greg Gilpin. The
traditional strains of Deck The Hall are set to new
music in this lilting 6/8 original by Greg Gilpin.

a bell-like piano accompaniment brings the work

"Be a candle of hope, be a candle of light, a beacon
of truth in a dark, hopeless night. Share the light
with a friend and watch the flame grow. The more
light we give, the more love we'll know..." This will
be especially effective at Christmas or at any time
of year as a closing number.

Beautiful December—Amy F. Bernon. This
gorgeous original lullaby is full of simple and
beautiful images: a garden awaiting the return
of spring; snow as soft as lamb's wool; a sleepy
child dreaming of songs that "rise on silken wings."
Lovely, expressive and easy to sing, it will provide
a welcome moment of peaceful reflection in your
winter concert program! Highly recommended!

The Bells—Lon Beery. Edgar Allen Poe's famous
poem is presented in an absolutely sparkling musical
package that bustles through changing rhythms with
a "jingling" piano accompaniment. Up-tempo, with
layered vocal ostinati and a joyful urgency, this is a
wonderfully energetic work that is bright and crisp
as a winter morning. The addition of sleigh bells give
added flexibility to this work that is an expressive
musical delight for midwinter concerts.
