A bright pairing of Il est ne and Angels We Have Heard on High - sing in English throughout or include some French text using the included pronunciation guide. The optional glockenspiel part will add some sparkle to two classic Christmas carols. 11503217 Three-Part Mixed . . . ME 2.05 11503218 Two-Part. . . . . . . . . . ME 2.05 11503274 P/A CD . . . . . . . . . . . . . 44.99 Fum, Fum, Fum—arr. Judith Herrington & Sara Glick. Bright and energetic, this arrangement of the traditional Catalan carol will add a festive touch to your Christmas program. Along with parts for tambourine, finger cymbals, and hand drum, the cheerful melody and easily learned harmonies are well supported with the piano accompaniment, making this a fine choice for developing choirs. 3304163 SAB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.95 3261393 Two-Part. . . . . . . . . . ME 2.75 11608900 SSA. . . . . . . . . . ME 3.25 Gaudete!—arr. Michael Engelhardt. From Piae Cantiones, this setting of Gaudete! is in a progressive style, yet well suited to the medieval melody. Its energy is derived from the accented rhythms and dance- like percussive elements, all adding to the joyous nature of the piece. Percussion parts for four players are available separately. 10467505 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 3.10 10276399 SSA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 2.95 10304776 TTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 2.95 10968325 Instru. Parts SATB . .M 25.00 10276400 Instru.Parts SSA . . . .M 20.00 10968326 Instru. Parts TTBB . .M 20.00 Gaudete! Gaudete!—Cristi Cary Miller. Flexibly set for either two parts or three, this original setting can be used as an opener or processional for Christmas concerts or services. The Latin text used in this selection comes from a sacred Christmas carol thought to have been composed in the 16th century, and the addition of a few English phrases lends it a contemporary touch. A great feature for either upper or lower voices! 11542392 Two-Part or SSA . . . ME 2.35 11542390 TB or T(T)B . . . . . . . ME 2.35 Gesu Bambino—Pietro Yon/arr. Tripp Carter. Beautifully arranged for mixed voices, this setting of the traditional carol captures the serene and tender essence of the original. With its gentle yet expressive accompaniment, the arrangement offers a heartfelt and accessible setting for holiday concerts and Christmas services. 11611308 SAB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 2.15 Gloria—Randol Alan Bass. This vigorous seven-minute work is a rhythmic yet lyrical setting of the Latin Gloria in excelsis text that will be a highlight of both sacred and secular programs, especially at Christmas. Written for the New York Pops and recorded by the Boston Pops, it has been extensively programmed by professional and amateur groups in a variety of venues. No soloists; multiple accompaniments; full and reduced orchestrations available by rental only. 1800374 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 5.95 10947167 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 5.55 1950088 TTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 5.55 10563626 Concert Band . . . . . . . . 35.00 3295258 Concert Band Score & Parts . . . . . . . 125.00 8058024 Brass, Percussion & Organ . . . . . . . . . . . . 70.00 11590209 Brass Quintet Score & Parts . . . . . . . . 55.00 Gloria—James M. DesJardins. Experience the traditional Gloria Latin text in this interesting modern setting that employs uneven meter and mixolydian tonality. The meter consistently follows a pattern of 2+2+3, enabling singers to strengthen their rhythmic fluency while singing vocal lines that further enhance their overall musicianship. Add the optional obbligato for Bb clarinet for added harmonic interest. 11611580 SSA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 2.50 Gloria—Noah Reese. Reese's a cappella canon, based on a descending D major scale, is fantastic for teaching unison singing, reinforcing part singing, and developing choral tone, all within the framework of conservative ranges for the treble choir. The celebratory Latin text adds an element of excitement and maturity while helping to shape the vowels and tone of young singers. 10990292 SSA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . E 2.25 Gloria (Angels We Have Heard on High)—arr. Keith McKay Evans. Here is a fresh take on the beloved French carol! In the exact arrangement made famous by Brigham Young University's a cappella group BYU Noteworthy, this contemporary setting is in 6/8 for a gently lilting feel. With improvised vocal percussion and an alto 4/ bass line that falls in the tenor range, this has a full harmonic texture with legato choral lines that support the soloist in waves of sound. Exceptional! 11530731 SSAATB . . . . . . . . . . . .M 2.95 10989954 SSSSAAA . . . . . . . . . .M 2.95 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. 11501662 SAB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.25 3126158 Two-Part. . . . . . . . . . ME 2.15 11559596 SSA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.15 Gloria in Excelsis Deo—Greg Gilpin. Equally effective a cappella or with the optional piano accompaniment, this dynamic work with the traditional Latin text is a great choice as an opener for either Christmas or general programming. A fanfare opening with call-and-response harmonies contrasts with a more sedate and lyrical middle section before resuming the opening feel. It's an ideal choice for concerts, festivals, or services. 11566984 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.75 11566985 SSAB . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 3.15 11566986 SSA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 3.15 11566987 TTB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 3.15 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. 11567946 SATB divisi . . . . . . . . . .M 3.10 Gloria! Gloria!—Roger Emerson. Ideal as an opening selection for Christmas or at any time of year, this energetic original work features unison lines in a syncopated rhythm that contrast nicely with a short lyrical section of harmony. Quickly learned, its simple Latin text will highlight pure vowels and tone, which will help build confidence and success in young singers. Consider pairing it with Emerson's Alleluia, Alleluia. 11591414 Three-Part Mixed . . . ME 2.35 11584912 Two-Part. . . . . . . . . . ME 2.35 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. 5775366 SSATB . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 2.10 3106614 SSA or SAT . . . . . . . . .M 1.95 10451981 TBB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 1.95 Go, Tell It On the Mountain—arr. Rollo Dilworth. This treble setting preserves the cadence of the beloved original, all while imbuing the music with a strong and classic harmonic structure. This stylized arrangement has a full gospel piano accompaniment and will be a wonderful addition to any holiday concert. 11397550 SSA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.65 Go, Tell It on the Mountain—arr. Bryan Sharpe. Upbeat and accessible, this a cappella arrangement of a traditional Christmas spiritual features vocal writing your choir will sing with ease. With a stylized approach and subtle creative twists, stacking voice parts lead into familiar verses while an optional descant or solo brings it to a thrilling conclusion. 11618647 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.95 God Rest Ye—arr. Eddie Cavazos, Josh Cavazos, Trevor Phillips & Alice Gomez. The traditional English carol is given a fresh treatment with percussion in a Central American Latin feel. With new lyrics and melodic lines added to the original carol, mixed meter and infectious rhythms make this is a unique and joyful addition to any Christmas program or service. 11567948 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 3.00 God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen—arr. Derric Johnson. As performed by Disney's Voices of Liberty in the their candlelight Christmas performances, this lively arrangement of the classic carol begins with a free, expressive low bass solo. The tempo quickly changes to a playful and energetic up-tempo rendition that blends traditional and contemporary elements, making it ideal for festive concerts or Christmas celebrations. 11611312 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 2.75 God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen—arr. Molly Ijames. It would be difficult to find a more spirited arrangement of this much- loved carol! This setting for SATB voices and piano requires an above-average accompanist and an energetic choir ready to work with the promise that the end result will be artistic and worth the effort. This is an excellent choice for concert choirs, church, or school. 11101002 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 2.50 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. 10601727 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 3.15 10601728 SAB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 3.15 11566946 TTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 3.15 10648375 P/A CD . . . . . . . . . . . . . 27.95 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! 10352200 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . E 2.50 3298644 Three-Part Mixed . . . . . E 2.25 10510011 TTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . E 2.50 Gotta Whisper, Gotta Shout!—Victor C. Johnson. This perennial favorite, also available for SATB, is a fun and energetic a cappella Christmas spiritual featuring distinctive dynamic contrasts that both whisper and shout the good news. Call and response between soloist and choir adds interest, and sequencing modulations build to a rousing finish. 11619060 SSA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.75 Return anytime for full credit.
