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

Gather Round the Holy Manger—Joyce
Vickery. Hinted in the title, this hymn text looks at
the Nativity through the lens of people's longing
to gather for fellowship and community. The
pentatonic melody begins in the bass and moves
almost antiphonally between the voices, nicely
decorated by the accompaniment. The "gather
round" motif is interesting and memorable.

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, church or community setting.

melody on the Glorias, culminating in a
dazzling arrangement that is just as fun to hear
as it is to sing!

Larson. The angels are definitely singing in the
skies in this energetic anthem of Christmas

this anthem is a marvelous Christmas addition
to any service or concert.
