In Deepest Night Above the Earth—M.D.
Ridge/arr. Steven Ottomanyi. Text and music
intertwine in this effective Christmas piece
that pairs the angels' call to the shepherds to
go see the newborn King with the similar call
we still experience two thousand years later.
The original hymn tune evokes the ancient
past of those shepherds through its scoring
for harp (or piano imitating a harp) and its use
of modality, representing the darker elements
of the Christmas story. Optional cello. A hymn
version is also included when assembly
singing is desired.

In Dulci Jubilo—arr. Matthew Culloton.
A cappella choirs will enjoy this ethereal
arrangement of the traditional Christmas carol.
The melody is easily identifiable throughout,
and a quiet energy makes it an exciting setting.

In the Bleak Midwinter—Gustav Holst/
arr. Timothy Allen. The familiar Holst tune
is set in 6/8 meter for treble choir. After
beginning in unison, subsequent verses add
a descant, then a countermelody. A flowing
piano accompaniment supports but does not
duplicate the voices. A charming piece for
young treble voices that is equally effective
with chamber orchestra.

In the Bleak Midwinter—Gustav Holst/
arr. Jen Wagner. Christina Rossetti's text and
Gustav Holst's tune have long been a favorite
pairing for Christmas. Jen Wagner has cleverly
and skillfully provided three settings, one each
for SATB, SAB, and two-part voices, with piano
and cello. Each stanza is uniquely composed
with the cello and piano playing a duet around
the choir and vocal solo, resulting in exquisite
tone painting.

In the Bleak Midwinter—arr. Mark
Hayes. The well-loved Christina Rossetti
poem and Gustav Holst tune come to life
in this stunning arrangement that rises and
falls in complexity from the beginning solo
soprano voice to its return at the end. Scored
for SATB voices, solo, piano, and optional
orchestra. Hauntingly beautiful!

Infant Holy, Infant Lowly—arr. Benjamin
David Knoedler. This elegant setting of the
traditional Polish carol opens with a verse of
delicately interwoven women's vocals. The
men's voices enter in verse two, singing first
by themselves and then with the women,
abounding in lush harmonies that linger to the
quiet close. Optional strings and percussion
provide an especially memorable moment for
Christmas concerts or worship.
11393815 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.75

R. Larter. Enjoy this refreshing setting of the

clarinet part, this is an exciting addition to the
Christmas season.

The Inn at the End of the World—Heather
Sorenson. A bell-like piano motive opens this
lovely anthem and holds the sections together.
Based on G. K. Chesterton's The Feast of Snow,
it also references the beloved hymn Thou Didst
Leave Thy Throne. The choral chords shimmer
over very expressive accompaniment, and
optional violin and cello add a special touch to
this Advent or Christmas offering.

It All Began in Bethlehem—Michael & Jil
Gallina. This lovely partner song introduces a
charming new text and tune which seamlessly
pairs with the classic O Little Town of
Bethlehem. The alto part first harmonizes wtih
the soprano and then the bass before all three
lines merge for a sweet ending. A welcome
addition for today's choirs.
11397580 SAB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.40
It Came Upon a Midnight Clear—arr.
Marianne Forman. The traditional carol is

violin, and contrasting original material. A
compelling blend of comforting familiarity
and fresh interest will make this a successful
addition to your Christmas programming.
11395405 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.35
It Came upon the Midnight Clear—arr.
Tom Trenney. Imaginative text painting brings
added depth to this well-loved carol. Lyrical
writing is mixed with lush chordal harmonies
along with a full piano accompaniment or
optional instrumental setting. The final stanza
concludes with the words "The whole world
gives back the song which now the angels
sing," and appropriately, the congregation
is invited to join the choir with the sopranos
singing a glorious descant.
11396627 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.40

was when first issued.

obbligato. A perfect choice for Christmas
