Do You Hear What I Hear?—arr. Harry
Simeone. The beautiful, haunting melody of
this choral standard sounds full and rich in this
arrangement for ensembles of any size. The
addition of the orchestration will truly elevate
this piece!

Ecce Ancilla (from Magnificat)—Michael
John Trotta. A simple prayer of a servant, this
a cappella work masterfully captures Mary's
response to the angel Gabriel. "Behold, I am
the servant of the Lord. May it be done to me
according to your will." A translation allows this
work to be performed in Latin or English.

Emmanuel -with- Joy to the World—Michael
W. Smith/arr. Dennis Allen. The contemporary
classic originally recorded by Amy Grant is
paired with the beloved carol Joy to the World
to great effect. Accessible and creative, use
this anthem in traditional or blended worship.
For further impact, an optional dramatic
monologue sets the stage at the beginning of
the anthem.

Emmanuel! God With Us!—Mary McDonald.
With words based on Matthew 1:23, the names
of Jesus are emphasized: Emmanuel, Prince of
Peace, Son of God - all proclaiming "God with
us!" A great way to commemorate Advent and
to inspire.

Et in Terra Pax—John Purifoy. The angel's
powerful proclamation "peace on earth" is
artfully delivered in this unique choral for the
holiday season. Quiet echoes of "Glorias"
and whispered prayers for peace tie in
beautifully with the Christmas message. Highly
expressive, this work is a timely message that
is meaningful for December concerts and
worship services.

Fantasia on Christmas Carols—Ralph
Vaughan Williams. A fantasia in the truest
sense, this choral tapestry of English carols
was composed in 1912 after Vaughan
Williams had completed the scores for his first
symphony (The Sea), and the Tallis Fantasia.
In this relatively short work for baritone soloist,
chorus and orchestra, we find the essence of
Vaughan Williams' style and compositional
mastery - hallmarks of a richly productive
artistic output that defined a nationalist
movement in music that continues to this
day. Centered on four traditional carols: The
Truth Sent from Above; Come All You Worthy
Gentlemen; On Christmas Night and There Is
a Fountain, it also features fragments of other
well-known carol tunes.

Far Away in a Manger—Kevin Keil. Two
well-known hymn tunes for the carol Away in
a Manger,
CRADLE SONG and MUELLER, are
creatively and effectively brought together in
this compact arrangement. Almost a partner
song, an original refrain is presented followed
by alternating lines of the two carol melodies
which then come together at the end. This
anthem is ideal for smaller choirs and
appealing to the listener, making this a favored
addition to any choir's repertoire.

Festival First Nowell—arr. Dan Forrest. From
the opening measures, Dan Forrest's massive
setting of this foundational carol implies that
something marvelous is in store. Scored for
mixed voices, brass quintet, organ, timpani and
multiple percussion, this soundtrack for the epic
story of Christ's birth is absolutely extraordinary!

transcendent glory of the traditional Latin text
is treated with great sensitivity and depth in this
superb setting for capable sanctuary, concert
or festival choirs! With sweeping vocal lines
and masterful harmonic layering, this work

of the choir. This enthralling choral opus
will be a centerpiece of concerts or worship
experiences whenever it is performed.

The First Noel—arr. Dan Forrest. Dan
Forrest's setting of this beloved carol takes a
wonder-filled, reflective gaze inside the stable
in Bethlehem. The anthem takes its time to
savor the beauty and meaning of the scene
and to communicate directly to the heart of
the miracle of the Incarnation. Sweeping
crescendos and tasteful piano lines deliver the
beloved message of this carol in a completely
unforgettable way. Captivating.

The First Noel/Pachelbel's Canon—arr.
Michael Clawson. The intertwining of the two
timeless works The First Noel and Pachelbel's
Canon In D is absolutely beautiful! A choral
masterpiece, this has become a classic,
featuring a three-hand piano or organ
accompaniment. Don't miss this!

The First Nowell—Matthew Culloton. This
setting of the beloved Christmas carol alternates
the traditional melody with original material that
beautifully illuminates the text. From beginning
to end, the silky smooth flow continues as the
choral texture varies, sometimes alternating
SA and TB, sometimes divisi, sometimes a
cappella. The choral sonorities are breathtaking
and the piano accompaniment captivating.
A marvelous choice for holiday concerts or
Christmas worship.

For Unto Us—John Randall Dennis. Text
and tune combine to create a gentle, innocent
anthem that tells the Christmas story in a simple
manner. While optional, a children's choir used
for the verses will underscore the childlike and
lilting nature of the song. The optional flute
obbligato adds the perfect final touch.
11515209 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.45
Fum, Fum, Fum—arr. Terry D. Taylor.
Traditional text and music are enhanced by
optional flute and percussion. A "fa-la-la"
interlude leads to the last verse. Includes a
teacher resource with helpful song teaching
steps, colorful classroom visuals, student score
(lead sheet without piano accompaniment),
and instrumental parts.

Gaudete—Michael Burkhardt. A lively, sacred
Renaissance piece from the 14th century. It
may be sung in Latin or in English and uses
both treble choir as well as SATB chorus.
The percussion parts are included in the
score and add a great deal to this lively piece.
Congregation and choir alike will enjoy this one.

Gentle Mary Laid Her Child—Klayton
Hoefler. The traditional carol text is treated to
a wondrous and elegant new melody in an
eloquent musical setting. Modal harmonies
and sensitive piano writing provide a calm
reflection that beautifully paints the tender
scene of Christ's birth.
11395399 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25
Gloria—Randol Alan Bass. This vigorous
seven-minute work is a rhythmic yet lyrical
setting of the Latin "Gloria in excelsis" text that
will be a highlight of both sacred and secular
programs, especially at Christmas. Written for
the New York Pops, recorded by the Boston
Pops, it has been extensively programmed
by professional and non-professional
groups in a variety of venues. No solosts;
multiple accompaniments; full and reduced
orchestrations available by rental only.

Gloria and Alleluia—Ruth Elaine Schram.
Two short contrasting movements may either
stand on their own or combine into one longer
setting. The Gloria setting is upbeat, rhythmic,
and fanfare-like, while the Alleluia is quiet,
introspective and set in a minor key. Both are
lovely a cappella settings that are achievable
by choirs in a school or church setting.

Glory to God in the Highest Heaven!—Lloyd
Larson. The angels are definitely singing in the
skies in this energetic anthem of Christmas
praise! Driving rhythms contrast with a brief
legato section which gives way to a snippet of
the beloved carol Angels We Have Heard on
High. Shimmering with fresh music and lyrics,
this anthem is a marvelous Christmas addition
to any service or concert.

God Made a Way—arr. Cliff Duren. This song
from artist Brandon Heath has a modern folk-
style opening with a gentle and expressive
male vocal solo. A female solo is then featured
in verse two before joining together as a
duet backed by choir. This arrangement is a
perfect opportunity to feature two soloists in a
Christmas concert or a Sunday morning choir
feature or special music presentation.
