Unto Us
Elizabeth Gage.
This memorable song based on Isaiah 9:6 features an upbeat melody
that propels the text forward into a section that explores Christ's names.
The melody repeats with an optional second part that acts like a descant
with minimal harmony notes. The piece concludes in unison, restating
Christ's names, before slowing and quieting for a reflective ending.

and an inventive piano accompaniment. Verses one and two tell the
story of the angels and shepherds, while verse three applies the story
to the present day. On the final chorus, an optional second part adds

What Star Did Shine?
Andrew Parr & Jeff Reeves.
Set in 6/8 meter, this charming anthem recalls the story of Jesus' birth
and how shining stars played a special role for both shepherds and magi
who came to worship the newborn King. An easy flute part reflects the
feeling of grace and wonder throughout the piece.

Advent Carol
Beth Kenreich.
Children's voices lead us through the season of Advent with this flexible
anthem. Using the familiar Advent themes of hope, peace, joy, and love,
a unison choir or cantor leads the congregation in weekly stanzas to
accompany the lighting of the Advent wreath. The anthem can also be
sung as a through-composed piece anytime during the season.
A Discovery Page for developing music readers is included.

Cradle Dance
Vicki Hancock Wright.
This beautiful anthem is full of imagery and elegance. The words of R.G.
Huff invite the audience to gather around the manger and praise the
Christ child through reverent dance. The fluid vocal lines and sensitive
piano accompaniment complement this praise offering. This piece will
add a stunning touch to any Christmas presentation. Teacher resources
include helpful song teaching steps and colorful classroom visuals.
