Nova, Nova, Ave Fit, Ex Eva
arr. Edward Eicker.
Based upon a gem of an English medieval carol, this quickly-rehearsed
arrangement is scored for SATB voices and soloist with hand percussion and
flute. At the end of each verse, the unison burden is "Nova, nova" (News,
news). The lively rhythms and modal melody delightfully portray the story of the
Annunciation.

On Christmas Night
M.D. Ridge/arr. Steven Ottomanyi.
Set in a flowing 3/2, this elegant hymnlike song will enhance any Christmas
liturgy. Modal coloration in the verse melody foreshadows a third verse set in
the parallel minor. Two presentations of the song are included: a concertato
arrangement for SATB choir, organ, and violin, with an optional string quartet
accompaniment available as a separate download, and a simpler unison version
without introduction or interludes.

Veni, Veni Emmanuel
I Will Come
Michael John Trotta.
A rhythmic ostinato on "Veni, veni" and optional percussion (triangle,
tambourine and drum) infuse the traditional Advent carol with such unrelenting
energy, the effect on the listener is mesmerizing! Detailed performance
notes give fascinating historical perspective to the work. Includes an English
translation of the text, which is Latin throughout. This is a unique take on the
ancient carol that will be an exhilarating a cappella highlight of your holiday
concert! Now available in SA!

What Star Is This
arr. Andrew P. Wright.
Andrew Wright's concertato arrangement of the Christmastime hymn tune
PUER NOBIS is scored for SATB choir with descant, organ, and two options
for instrumental duos (flute/cello and trumpet/trombone). Its fluid harmonic
conception and varying vocal textures are often striking and novel yet still
support assembly participation. This will be a worthy addition to your choir's
Christmas programming.

When Christ Was Born of Mary Free
Daniel Burton.
Supported by a joyful organ accompaniment, this Christmas anthem is based
upon a 15th century English carol text. The choral texture is mostly homophonic
with points of call-and-response and is decorated by sparkling organ
counterpoint. The text is both English and Latin and provides a final angelic
acclamation: "In excelsis gloria!"

Christ's Nativity
Peter Hilliard.
From Peter Hilliard comes this dynamic musical offering on a text by
17th-century Welsh metaphysical poet Henry Vaughan. A simple melody
is embellished throughout to underscore images from the text, and a horn
obbligato sounds a clarion call. Invest time rehearsing this breathtaking piece
with your choir - it will be worth the effort.

Come See Emmanuel
Stephen Burtonwood.
This beautiful original carol includes a lyrical melody and a text that calls all

sacrifice. Each verse receives a varied treatment, ending with a glorious
descant. Accompanied by organ.

Hodie
arr. J. Edmund Hughes & Brian Edward Galante.
This arrangement of a familiar Christmas classic begins with a chant-like
opening. The carol emerges in a strong statement from the treble voices; the
tenor-bass voices enter soon thereafter to add responsive punctuation before
all voices move into a canon. The choral writing is solid, easily learned, and
sounds impressive.

In the Bleak Midwinter
arr. Matthew Culloton.
Matthew Culloton has created a gorgeous setting of the familiar carol scored
for SATB divisi voices with soprano solo, a cappella. Beautiful textural and
harmonic touches, alternately simple and complex, illumine and elevate the
text. The thought, beauty, and emotion in this setting are not to be missed.

In the Bleak Midwinter
Gustav Holst/arr. Robert J. Powell.
The poignancy of Gustav Holst's tune
CRANHAM and Christina Rossetti's notable
poem, In the Bleak Midwinter, is evident in this setting by Robert Powell. The
SAB vocal tapestry varies by verse and the organ accompaniment can be
complemented by string quartet or by solo violin and cello.

Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence
Chad Fothergill.
A really beautiful introduction establishes the tone for this glorious
congregation/choir setting, which was the highlight of the 2019 Christmas at
Duke Chapel program. Accompanied by organ and strings, verses one and
four are unison, verse two is SATB a cappella, and verse three suggests the
congregation in canon. It closes with a brilliant, thrilling finish.
