Liturgical Christmas Anthems for Adult Choir
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.

The Risk of Birth—Matthew J. Olson. A
profound setting of the text by Madeleine
L'Engle speaks of the Christ child's birth
amid earthly strife. The music effectively
captures both the discord and love within
the text and creatively incorporates
phrases of the hymn Savior of the Nations,
Come. With organ, trumpet, and optional
brass quartet, this anthem is a moving
and dramatic contribution to Advent and
Christmas worship.
