CHRISTMAS ANTHEMS
HD Christmas Lullaby—John Rutter. This compelling
original work by John Rutter features an exquisite
text that is perfectly wedded to a lilting melody, all
within a rich vocal texture worthy of this master
composer. It's a rare gem, easy to perform
and impossible to forget. The SSA voicing is a
whole step lower and not compatible with the

L A Christmas Lullaby—Marianne Forman.
From the first notes of solo introduction, this lush
and lovely lullaby grants us access to the stable
scene on that first Christmas night. Text from the
traditional Welsh carol provides subtle reference to
the contrast of the Child's holiness and humanity,
as Mary urges Him: "Go to sleep." It is scored for
SATB divisi voices, solo, and piano.

DL Christmas Sanctus—Lee Dengler & Susan Naus
Dengler. This compelling anthem combines the
tender beauty of the Nativity story with the age old
grandeur of the Sanctus text. The music weds the
simplicity of the stable in Bethlehem to a deeply
worshipful exaltation of the promised Savior. It
builds in intensity through the final refrain, with
an optional soprano descant which enhances its
brilliance and then ends with an intimate, quiet
final statement reflecting the awe felt by all who
experience Christ's presence on earth.

l Christmas, Share Your Song—Brad Nix. A
message of hope and joy nestles in the heart of
this new seasonal anthem. The text is set to a
lilting, almost madrigal-style tune in 6/8 that
soon surrenders to the famed Good Christians All,
Rejoice. This makes for a winning combination of
old and new, and the jubilant piano writing moves
the piece along with delightful spirit.

L
piece for Christmas from the pen of Jonathan Reid.
Rising and falling vocal phrases are supported by a
