CHRISTMAS ANTHEMS
The Christmas Lamb—Brian L. Hanson.
This poignant 19th-century text tells of God's
redemptive work, beginning with Advent and
Christmas and finishing with Easter. The setting
is crafted with swelling choral cadences and
supported by a resonant piano accompaniment.
A wonderful selection for Advent 4, Christmas
Eve, and Christmas programs.

Christmas Lullaby—John Rutter. This
compelling original work features an exquisite
text that is perfectly wedded to a lilting melody, all
within a rich vocal texture worthy of this master
composer. It's a rare gem, easy to perform
and impossible to forget. The SSA voicing is a
whole step higher, and not compatible with the

A Christmas Meditation (Away in a Manger)
—arr. Mack Wilberg. Based on the tune
CRADLE SONG, this wordless piece (the choir
hums over lush accompaniment) was written as
underscoring for a reading of the Nativity story
(Luke 2:1, 3-14). In the tradition of incidental
music, this piece may be used in a variety
of ways: as a processional, as a transition
between other works, or as background for
spoken words and images. Chamber orchestra
parts are available on rental.

Christmas Sanctus—Lee Dengler & Susan
Naus Dengler. This compelling anthem
combines the tender beauty of the Nativity
story with the age old grandeur of the Sanctus
text. The music weds the simplicity of the
stable in Bethlehem to a deeply worshipful
exaltation of the promised Savior. It builds
in intensity through the final refrain, with an
optional soprano descant which enhances
its brilliance and then ends with an intimate,
quiet final statement reflecting the awe felt
by all who experience Christ's presence
on earth.

Christmas worship or concert offering.

rhythmic ostinato unifies this energetic a

season. Toby Young's lively melodies are full
of syncopated rhythms and sung with quite a
bit of independence of line, often supported by
colorful harmonies in the accompanying voices.

in this upbeat arrangement. Piano
and optional ten handbells (3 octaves) provide
delightful accompaniment.

arr. Mary McDonald. This festive setting of a
Christmas favorite is full of joy and energy! The
arrangement, set in 12/8, begins with choir and
congregation in unison, then builds to three-part
harmony. With the transition to a new key and
4/4 time, the choir sings the middle stanza in
lush harmonies. The 12/8 meter returns, choir
and congregation join to create a jubilant
ending. Parts for optional handbells (3 octaves,)
brass quintet and timpani available separately.

arrangement of Away in a Manger incorporates
vocal orchestration effects, providing singers
with innovative opportunities for fresh sounds
and luxurious harmonies. A small SA section

will leave you with images of that night long
ago when the angels came from the heavens

classic originally recorded by Amy Grant is
paired with the beloved carol Joy to the World

monologue sets the stage at the beginning of
the anthem.

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.

story of Christ's birth is absolutely extraordinary!
