L An Antiphonal Noel—Joel Raney. Here is a piece
that can be used as a choral introit or a processional
during the Christmas season. It also functions as a
seamless introduction to the congregational singing
of The First Noel. A simple ostinato pattern for 6
handbells provides the accompaniment as Unison
and SATB choirs sing an echo and response.
Unique and uplifting!

Ht Away in a Manger—arr. Ola Gjeilo. The beloved
carol shimmers in this magnificent setting for
four-part mixed voices, a cappella. The familiar
Kirkpatrick melody is introduced by a soprano
solo which may be sung by either an adult or a
child. The gorgeous hummed chord progressions
create a smooth, deep texture, setting this apart
from all other arrangements of the carol. Equally
appropriate for school or church performances, it is
simply exquisite.

lL Bethlehem Down—Josh Bauder. Josh Bauder
is new to the Hinshaw catalogue. While quite
prolific in other catalogues, this first Hinshaw
publication is scored for mixed chorus with piano.
Focusing on Christ's gifts at his birth, the piece
could easily be used on Christmas Eve, Christmas
Day, Epiphany, or for your Lessons and Carols.
Mostly homophonic, the lovely lyrical melody is
enhanced by an evocative harmonic language and
a supportive role for the keyboard.

Ht Bethlehem Procession—Pepper Choplin. This
clever invitation to the joy of Christmas will be an a
cappella wonder for your choir. The men begin with

soar with a lyrical line that beckons the listener
to join the procession. It builds to a joyous call to
"come see the shining light," then gradually fades
into the distance. The effective tambourine and
drum add to the festivity of this wonderful selection.
If this doesn't make you smile, check your pulse!

4L Break Forth, O Beauteous Heavenly Light—
Larry Shackley. This Christmas title is well-known
for its use in J.S. Bach's Christmas Oratorio.
Hymn writer Fred Pratt Green has added two
contemporary stanzas which brings the meaning
into our lives today, with words such as: "Come,
dearest child, into our hearts, and leave your crib
behind you! Let this be where the new life starts for
all who seek and find you." The original music soars
in melodic line and grandeur. Useful for Christmas
and the season of Epiphany, calling to break forth,
O heavenly light!

through his mother's eyes. Prayerful and reflective,
this anthem will speak to the hearts and minds of
all who hear it!
