touching of Christmas selections.

Shepherds Arise!Dan R. Edwards. Upbeat and
percussive, this fun piece for Christmas will be a
choir favorite! The text narrates shepherds rising to
rejoice for the newborn baby Jesus, and the music
perfectly reflects that. The vocal canon throughout
is a great way to get young voices singing in parts.

Silent NightFranz Gruber/arr. Mark Patterson.
Simple and beautifully straightforward, this
arrangement of the traditional carol includes
everything a young choir needs for success. The
vocal line is set in a perfect range for children's
voices, and the addition of a descant on the last
verse creates opportunities for part-singing. Use
German text on the first verse to teach about the
song's origins.

baby born in Bethlehem." This simple message

accessible harmonies that children can learn and
sing with confidence. The hymn-like quality of the
melody will make learning easy through the busy
December season.

Sleep, Baby Jesus, SleepCindy Berry. This
tender Christmas anthem quietly celebrates the
miracle of Christ's birth. Written especially with
older elementary choirs in mind, the unison melody
takes the form a lullaby that children can easily
sing. A lovely piano accompaniment gracefully
complements the vocals offering melodic support
throughout the piece.

H The Snow Carol (Still, Still, Still)arr.
Audrey Snyder. Absolutely gorgeous! The beloved
German carol, partnered with a charming original
countermelody, shimmers with the beautiful image
of newly-fallen snow. Now available for treble or
mixed choirs, it includes both German and English
lyrics and a beautiful descant that may be done with
voices or a solo instrument. Highly recommended!

4 Star of the East, Bethlehem's StarGreg
Gilpin. This lovely original song in a minor key
retraces the steps of the Magi as theytravel through
the desert in search of the Child. Simple two-part
harmony and a sense of wonder make this a fine
choice for worship or December concerts. Very
nicely done.

Jesus is coming, prepare ye the way."

Schram. This piece, with its moving text, is a
wonderful teaching tool for the Christmas season.
"Lord, grant me a thankful heart, an attitude of
gratitude; and help me appreciate what's already
mine, all the things I wanted before. I've been
blessed beyond compare; I have toys and games to
spare. And I realize there's just one thing more that
I should be asking for: I want a thankful heart this
Christmas." This lovely anthem for children is not to
be missed!
