A Thrill of Hope—Joel Raney. "A thrill of
hope, the weary world rejoices!" Nothing
captures the awe and wonder of Christmas
better than that single phrase from John
Dwight's O Holy Night, and it serves as the
cornerstone of this Christmas musical. It
looks at the birth of Christ from four distinct
vantage points: celebrating the hope he
brought; the love he showed; the peace
he promised; and the joy of Emmanuel,
God with us forevermore! Contents: Long
Ago, Prophets Knew; Sing We Now of
Christmas; The First Noel; Come, Thou

Gloria (A Festive Suite for Choir and
Orchestra)—Mary McDonald. This compelling
three-movement original work for choir and
orchestra draws on ancient themes and Latin text
to offer a soaring expression of praise to God.
The suite opens with a jubilant Gloria in excelsis
Deo, moves into the deeply expressive Et in terra
pax, and culminates in the epic Gloria Dei Patri
(Glory to the Father). In addition to its original
accompaniment for full orchestra, it may also be
presented with brass and percussion or organ
alone. Pronunciation guides, rehearsal tracks,
and accompaniment recordings are also available
to support preparation. At just under 12 minutes,
this impactful work makes a powerful addition to
Christmas worship as a final statement following
carols or a stirring conclusion to a traditional
cantata. It is ideal for community choirs, university
ensembles, and church choirs alike.

Snow Angel—Sarah Quartel. This evocative
five-movement choral work explores themes of
love, rebirth, and beauty through the eyes of
children and the heavenly army of angels that
watch over them, yearning to make a difference
in their lives. The work may be performed with
narration in which three angels present their
perspectives on their earthly charges. Quartel
weaves a haunting and poignant cello line
throughout the work, and a vibrant part for djembe
in the fourth movement, Sweet Child, carries the
listener from the ethereal and mystical realm the
work predominantly inhabits into an emphatic
anthem with a distinctly African feel. The musical
language is emotive and pictorial, allowing
performers to play an active role in the storytelling.
