With newly composed text from Wendat poet Andree Levesque Sioui, this reimagined arrangement of the Huron Carol is retitled to honor its origins and invites us to learn from the past while working to shape a more cohesive future. There are extensive notes about the history and texts of the carol included in the octavo, and the arrangement gives the option to sing an English text. It is a beautiful choice for Christmas concerts or services. 11563792 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.65 In Dulci Jubilo (from "Carols for Choirs 6")— Cecilia McDowall. The vibrant melody of this carol glides above harmonies that are almost entirely diatonic - but whose originality and frequent passing dissonances mean that predictability is never a danger. From Carols for Choirs 6. 11426395 SATB w/Organ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.65 In the Bleak Midwinter—arr. Dan Forrest. A magical carol setting that transports the listener into Christina Rosetti's beloved Christmas text written in London (listen for the subtle hints of Big Ben!). Ethereal melodic echoes eventually build to soaring vocal lines before giving way to the tender final stanza, "What can I give him, poor as I am? ..." An intimate yet deeply moving arrangement. 11514056 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50 11514057 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50 In the Bleak Midwinter—Gustav Holst & Bruce W. Becker/arr. Kyle Pederson. This piece pairs Holst's iconic melody with a lesser-known melody by Bruce Becker and augments Rossetti's text with original lyrics that look toward the light of Christmas. An active and independent piano accompaniment, optional opening solo, flowing vocal lines, and an unaccompanied middle section make this a sensitive selection for your Christmas program. 11512094 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.85 In the Stillness—Sally Beamish. With original words by Katrina Shepherd, this short, lush Christmas carol beautifully captures the hushed rapture of a small parish church in a snowbound landscape just before Christmas. 11510068 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.50 Jouluingel (Christmas Angel)—Olav Ehala. In this popular festive work from Estonian composer Olav Ehala, the text evokes scenes of Christmas Eve and the music is full of joy! An IPA and recorded pronunciation guide are available from the publisher. 11514306 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.80 Joy to the World!—Lowell Mason/arr. Ian Crawford. Breathing new life into a Christmas classic, this arrangement features playful rhythmic alterations between 3/4 and 6/8 meter. The syncopated vocal lines are underpinned by a supportive, bouncy piano accompaniment. It is an unexpected and delightful carol setting that will be equally suitable for Christmas concerts or services. 11563794 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.25 Love Came Down at Christmas—Chris Artley. Using one of Christina Rossetti's most oft-set poems for choir, the Christmas miracle of Jesus' birth is beautifully told with a leaping, joyful melody, organ accompaniment, and alternating a cappella sections. The composition is dedicated to New Zealand soprano Gina Sanders and the 2016 King's College Chapel Choir in Auckland and was the winning entry in the Freudig Singers of Western New York Choral Composition Competition in 2017. Appropriate for church, community, and collegiate choirs. 11516347 SATB w/ Organ. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.75 Love's Pure Light (Silent Night)—Elaine Hagenberg. Experience a captivating new melody to Silent Night as hints of the timeless Christmas carol STILLE NACHT are interwoven throughout. Graceful choral parts capture the tenderness of the beloved text, then ascend to new heights, resounding with "Son of God, love's pure light." The optional parts for string quartet, flute, oboe, and timpani help to create a truly memorable piece, sure to be cherished for years to come. 11502583 SATB divisi, or SSATB . . . . . . . . 2.95 Magnificat (from "Evening Canticles")— Michael John Trotta. A joyful and soaring a cappella work, this English setting of "My soul doth magnify the Lord" is a wonderful way to show off the sound of your choir. Homorhythmic movement and careful voice leading make it easy to learn and enjoyable to sing for practiced singers. 11515252 SATB divisi . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.90 11515251 Octavo- Evening Canticles P.O.D. divisi. . 3.10 Mary, Did You Know?—arr. Craig Courtney. This popular contemporary Christmas song receives a fresh treatment in this arrangement. An ethereal sound is set by the use of chord clusters and an aleatoric section. The melody is then introduced by a soloist. Truly an exceptional setting that will become a favorite of your choir. 11514049 SSAA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50 11514050 TTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50 Mary, Mother—Bob Chilcott. Able to be performed as separate stand-alone pieces or as a unified set, this sequence of six original carols explores the role of Mary in the Christmas story, focusing on her human experience within a story of the divine. The lyricist, Georgia Way, places the sycamore tree as a central image. From reflecting instability in Mary's emerging adulthood to symbolizing the regenerative power of the human spirit in the work's closing movement, the music perfectly depicts the narrative, musically charting Mary's emotional journey through poignant melodies, rich harmonies, and descriptive instrumental textures. Pieces are A Child in Galilee; Carpentry Carol; After the Angel; Walking Carol; Dear Heart; Hymn. 11559978 SATB Choral Score w/ Piano or Organ, opt.
