God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen—arr. Elizabeth
Campbell. A great way to feature your tenors and
basses, this piece includes the imitation of the
sound of a swinging, walking string bass as they
lay the foundation for the tune. Your sopranos
and altos will have fun singing the bass line up
an octave while the tenors and basses then get
to carry the melody. Complete with finger snaps
and a whispered "Yeah!" at the end, it is extremely
cool, and is guaranteed to be a huge hit with your
students and audiences!

His Light in Us—Kim Andre Arnesen.
Commissioned by the St. Olaf Choir for the 2016 St.
Olaf Christmas Festival, this work is a thanksgiving,
a song about the gift of a tiny child that suggests
that only the nature of love is changeless. It sings
about our renewed hope and how light now shines
because Christmas is a new and refreshing gift; our
hearts are renewed, and our hope is renewed. This
joyful reflection was written for Christmas, but can
be sung at any time of year as a song of hope.

descant that soars above the final statement bring

highlight. A separate score for the body percussion
and an accompaniment track are available as

Hodie Christus Natus Est—Laura Farnell. This
work is built around the Latin Hodie Christus
natus est text (Today Christ Is Born) and the
Venite Adoremus from Adeste Fideles (O Come,
All Ye Faithful). The bridge in English provides nice
contrast in this gorgeous, lush setting for younger
voices. An optional violin (or C instrument) obbligato
adds warmth and lyricism.

Hodie Fanfare—Sally K. Albrecht. Layers of the

original work. Shifting meters, a rhythmic piano
accompaniment, and the addition of an optional
snare drum part add to the joyful energized setting.

Thula Sizwe (Nation, Do Not Cry) for an unforgettable

I Saw Three Ships—arr. Craig Curry. Suitable
for both church and school choirs, this setting of
the traditional English carol is absolutely exquisite
and extremely well crafted. Each verse has slight
variations, and the use of optional handbells adds
sparkle. Dramatic dynamic changes, stunning piano

I Saw Three Ships—arr. Mark Hayes. This
spirited setting for choir and four-hand piano of the
traditional English carol opens with a rousing choral
fanfare. Verses follow with the melody sung first
by women and then the men. Next, a homophonic
verse is followed by a marvelously creative section
in which the primary carol partners with Lo, How a
Rose E'er Blooming. Building in intensity towards
the close, we hear successively the "bells" and the
"angels" before "all rejoice amain." Some choral
divisi enriches the score, including rich chords in
the finale.
