CHRISTMAS SACRED & SPIRITUALS
Gloria in Excelsis Deo—Jasper Randall.
One of the most popular texts to sing during
the Christmas season, this compelling
single-movement work breaks from the
traditional liturgical text and surprises us
with the English statement "for unto us"
before returning to the traditional Latin
text. Fanfare-like and memorable, this
exciting work with either piano, brass
and percussion, or full orchestration will
be embraced for Christmas concerts or
services. Parts are available for rental.

Gloria!—Tristino Ali. This festive original
setting of the traditional Latin text captures
the essence of joyful admiration of God.
Both solemn and majestic, pensive
and jubilant, the a cappella sonorities
expressed and explored are energized by
constant rhythmic motion. It's an excellent
opening piece for either Christmas or
general concert use.

Gloria, Hodie!—Glenn A. Pickett. The 16th-
century carol Personent Hodie has never
sounded so thrilling! With an original text
of peace and hope along with brilliant
harmonic colors and rhythmic motifs,
this six-minute single-movement work
is an exciting addition to the Christmas
repertoire. It can be performed with piano
accompaniment alone; however, three
dynamic orchestrations for brass quintet,
chamber orchestra, or full orchestra are
also available for rental.

Gloria, the Angels Sing—arr. Michael Ryan.
Bright and festive, this work is an upbeat
opener for a Christmas concert or service.
Text from Edmund H. Sear's It Came
Upon the Midnight Clear is paired with a
classic English carol tune along with an
original syncopated melody on the Glorias,
culminating in a dazzling arrangement that
is just as fun to hear as it is to sing!

Go Tell It, Shepherd!—arr. Michael Ryan.
Including two traditional Christmas
spirituals, Go, Tell It on the Mountain and
Rise Up, Shepherd, and Follow, this gospel-
style arrangement ties them together both
musically and thematically. For two-part
choirs in either range, this will be easy to
learn and a perfect way to celebrate the
season in either concerts or services.

Go Where I Send Thee!—arr. Paul
Caldwell & Sean Ivory. If you have a very
talented choir looking for a challenge,
this is an absolutely "must do" spiritual!
The use of the many variants of the text
allows the music to maximize the use of
gospel-style modulations and to give the
singers significant one-line reminders
of some of the biblical stories on which
the African-American musical tradition
is based.

Seiler. Opening with a low bass solo
and unfolding into a radiant mixed-choir
arrangement, this take on the popular
spiritual incorporates elements of gospel,
jazz, and pop music. An incredibly fun a

Christmas concerts!

God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen—arr.
Wesley D. Peters. With a delightfully
playful rhythmic interplay between 3/4
and 6/8 meters, this joyous, fresh setting
of the traditional English carol seizes
one's interest from its introduction to its
exuberant conclusion. The mixed meter
sections act as musical bookends to a
sensitive a cappella centerpiece featuring
the reassuring angelic presence at the
Nativity. Equally appropriate for both school
and church use.

God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen—arr.
Noah Reese & Debbie Siebert. 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.

God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen—arr.
Elizabeth Campbell. A great way to
feature your tenors and basses, this piece
includes the imitation of the sound of a
swinging, walking string bass as they lay the
foundation for the tune. Your sopranos and
altos will have fun singing the bass line up
an octave while the tenors and basses then
get to carry the melody. Complete with finger
snaps and a whispered "Yeah!" at the end, it
is extremely cool, and is guaranteed to be a
huge hit with your students and audiences!
