Christmas Child
John Rutter.
This macaronic carol with organ accompaniment encourages us
to "sing, rejoice at our Savior's coming." This lyrical retelling of the
Christmas story was commissioned by the Yale Institute of Sacred
Music to honor David Hill. The beautiful melody and refrain sing of
Christmas. An a cappella verse adds interest but is not difficult.

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.
