Love Came Down—Joanna Forbes
L'Estrange. Rossetti's treasured Christmas
poem is imagined evocatively in this setting
equally effective with choir or mixed quartet.

while the other voices accompany with a
new harmonic treatment that has the simple
and beautiful lilt of a lullaby.

Lullaby, Sing Lullaby—Nancy M. Raabe.
This charming lullaby gently tells of the
creatures in the stable surrounding the
newborn babe on that first Christmas.

two-part treble choir, or a children's choir
can be included throughout.

more open harmonic structure to create this
wonderful sense of ancient and modern. A
soaring descant enters in the final stanza to
lift the piece to a sublime finish.

Pat-a-Pan—arr. David Conte. This
charming a cappella setting of the familiar
carol has a bright, rhythmic ostinato
pattern that moves between the sections
of the choir. The Christmas story is told
from the perspective of shepherds playing
simple instruments - flutes and drums -
the onomatopoetic sound of which gives
the carol its name. "Pat-a-pan" is meant
to mimic the sound of the drum, and
an accompanying lyric, "tu-re-lu-re-lu,"
the flute.
