Patapan—Bernard de la Monnoye/arr. Brent
Wells. Creatively set with syncopation and
percussion throughout, this setting of the early
18th-century Burgundian carol centers around
the playing of the drums within the lyrics of the
song. The text is in English throughout, and
the divisi harmonies and instructions for simple
movement and body percussion make this
exciting to perform.

Personent Hodie—arr. Mark Burrows. In a truly
ancient-modern setting, the 16th-century Latin
chant from Piae Cantiones is arranged with a
gorgeous harmonization and modern rhythmic
elements and percussion. The traditional chant
melody is present throughout, and the open
harmonies are accentuated in a fresh and
imaginative fashion. A wonderful choice for more
advanced choirs for the Christmas season!

Silent Night—arr. Molly Ijames. Part of the
Beckenhorst Congregational Anthem Series,
this lush setting works equally well as a simple
SATB anthem with optional congregation, or
a congregational hymn with extra beauty and
choral descant. Optional flute and/or string
quartet are available.

Snowfall—David L. Brunner. Ryokan's short
poem on the beauty of snowfall was translated
into English by Kazuaki Tanahashi and serves
as the text for this subdued a cappella work for
more advanced divisi choirs. Gentle dissonance
and a slowly moving harmonic texture express the
serene quiet of winter.

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening—Eric
Whitacre. One of Eric Whitacre's most well-known
compositions, Sleep, is available now as it was
originally composed in 2000, using the Robert Frost
poem as its text. While the circumstances of Frost's
text led to the creation of Whitacre and Silvestri's
first beloved collaboration, this version with the
winter-themed text offers the chance to perform
and hear the music in a completely different light.

There Is No Rose—Zebulon M. Highben. A
buoyant a cappella setting of the traditional
Christmas carol uses both English and Latin
text. Interesting rhythms and options for soloists
bring a lively madrigal feel. This award-winning
composition is part of the Duke Chapel series.

Through the Shade—Blake Richter. Dealing with
the subject of loss and grief during the holiday
season, this incredibly meaningful work reminds
us that hope and love "will guide us through the
shade." Tender unison melodies and soothing
harmonies let the text shine, while the piano
accompaniment is supportive with a gentle motive
that keeps it moving forward.

Wexford Carol—arr. Elaine Hagenberg. This
captivating arrangement of the familiar Wexford
Carol with piano accompaniment becomes
increasingly rich and textured with the addition of
the optional oboe, percussion, and string quartet/
quintet. The Christmas story unfolds stanza by
stanza with increasing intensity and quiet wonder,
building to a truly wondrous finish.

Winter Lullaby (Little Dear-My-Soul)—Luke
Flynn. Sweeping, emotive choral lines envelop
Eugene Field's well-known poem Christmas Eve
in this beautiful lullaby setting from a Hollywood
film score composer. Lush harmonies allow choirs
to express their musical sensitivity, while the parts
themselves remain accessible to a variety of
choirs. A stunning choice for winter concerts!

Requiem for Colour
A Journey Through Lament and Joy
Jeffery L. Ames.
Honoring the lives and legacies of enslaved people from 1619
to 1865 as well as contemporary Black martyrs who sacrificed
for equality and freedom, this powerful choral and orchestral
multimovement work is a strong statement of the resilience
and complexity of Black American history. Blending idiomatic
Black musical genres with Western European composition
styles, it creates a unique and profound musical journey in 13
movements that traces the Black experience from West Africa
through the Middle Passage, slavery, and sharecropping in the
South to the civil rights movement and today's ongoing fight
against racism and injustice. It features soprano and tenor
soloists, a rapper, and a narrator along with the choir and full
orchestra supplemented with African percussion. The libretto
incorporates narratives from enslaved people, sharecroppers,
and contemporary activists, offering an aesthetic experience
that both commemorates and challenges.
