E 2.20 Gaudete—arr. Philip Lawson. This traditional carol is arr- anged by the former King's Singer in a style that honors the original while bringing it into the 21st century. Changing meter, alternating a cappella and accompanied segments, and call-and-response sections create a work that is a constant surprise. 11513588 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 2.15 Gaudete!—Ruth Morris Gray. Employing the ancient Latin text in a modern original setting, this three-part work is a dynamic and rhythmic opening selection or processional. Accompanied by piano and optional hand drum, it is in 3/4 meter and includes an English verse that celebrates the Christmas season, though it can be performed any time of year. 11427773 Three-Part Mixed . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

There are also some sections of first soprano divisi in the upper range that will create a floating, angelic touch that soars above. 11510898 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 2.75 The Glastonbury Thorn—Z. Randall Stroope. This curious text depicts a town in southwest England with ties to the Arthurian legends, the Holy Grail, and the story of Joseph of Arimathea.

Ryan Kelly. Haydn's eighth setting of the ordinary of the Mass was composed in 1782 for performance in Mariazell, Austria. The brief opening portion of the Gloria has been selected for this anthem, featuring Haydn's exuberant, straightforward homophonic choral writing true to the Classical period. The accompaniment is an approachable orchestral reduction for piano with optional trumpets and timpani. Accessible to most ensembles, this anthem offers choirs the exciting opportunity to sing an excerpt from a large-scale choral work. 11515557 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

It can be used in combination with Trotta's other Latin works Kyrie; Agnus Dei and Sanctus to create a Missa brevis. 10990313 Three-Part Mixed or SATB. . . . . . . . . . .

ME 4.75 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. 11501662 SAB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Especially designed for young tenors and basses with changing voices, this arrangement offers the option to sing in unison throughout or to add the written parts on the third verse that begin in canon and end in simple harmony. With just a hint of Mary Did You Know?, the accompaniment brings an artistic and plaintive voice to the well-known traditional English Christmas carol. 11501642 Two-Part or TT or Unison. . . . . . . . . . . . E 2.50 God Will Give Orders/Sweet Child (from "Snow Angel")— Sarah Quartel. Beginning with a mystical, ethereal feel with a haunting optional cello line, this piece opens with lyrical choral lines singing over a baby and promising heavenly protection and care. The mood then shifts to a celebratory and rhythmic feel with djembe, and eventually a quieter a cappella refrain closes with the choir affirming the promise: "Sweet child, you're the future... Sweet child, I will show you how to love." 10689757 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 4.50 10642198 SSAA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 4.50 Going on a Sleigh Ride—Mary Donnelly & George L.O. Strid. This bright and cheerful Christmas piece reflects the rollicking fun of a wintertime sleigh ride. The song incorporates the refrain from Jingle Bells, giving singers a chance to sing a familiar holiday tune with a new spin. Glockenspiel and jingle bells are included to enhance the feeling of celebration. 11369160 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.35 Good King Wenceslas—arr. Russell Robinson. James Mason Neal's 19th-century text tells the 10th-century tale of a King from Bohemia traveling through the snow on St. Stephen's Day. Paired with its traditional 13th-century melody, it then takes on a modern twist as it is arranged in a jazzy, swing-style 5/4 meter, similar to Take Five. The verse uses simple unison or two-part lines, and the jazzy four-part harmonies on the choruses are easy to learn. 11501690 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.50 Good News (Christmas Spiritual Style)—arr. Mark Butler. A lively composition with the fresh feeling of a spiritual, this piece offers abundant opportunities for solos!
