Ring with the Angels
arr. Brenda E. Austin.
Three beloved carols square off in this joyful
medley.
ADESTE FIDELIS; REGENT SQUARE and
GLORIA are presented sequentially, each given
a different treatment. Syncopated and offbeat
accompanimental patterns in the battery
provide energy while the treble bells soar with
the melodies. Your congregation will enjoy
hearing these familiar carols.

Sing with Praise
arr. Mitchell Eithun.
Based on Franz Liszt's Christmas Tree Suite, this
light and playful setting will provide something
a little different this holiday season. Although in
4/4, the pulse is more 2/2, with running eighth
notes providing forward momentum.

The Virgin Mary Had a Baby Boy
arr. Kurt Meyer.
Also known as the West Indies Carol, this
Christmas favorite is filled with island joy
that includes an optional flute part and
percussion. Various stopped techniques
along with syncopated rhythmic figures
keep things interesting!

We Three Kings
arr. Brian Childers.
This Christmas classic is given an atmospheric
and truly unique setting. Effective use of
staccato - thumb damps in the treble, mallets
in the bass - and other techniques blend with
the optional handchimes to perfectly evoke the
voyage of the kings in search of the newborn
Messiah. A magical work for a magical time
of year!

The Wexford Carol
arr. Kurt Meyer.
This mesmerizing setting of the cherished
Irish Christmas carol begins with singing bells,
optional wind chimes, and whimsical fragments
of the theme before developing into a setting
with the melody on chimes like a music box.
Further development brings layering of rhythms
with occasional and surprising changes in the
traditional harmony. This creative and engaging
setting is perfect for holiday programming in
church, school, or community settings.
