You'll want to consider these new and top-selling winter and holiday favorites, all tailor-made for men's choirs. Carol of the Star—Donald Moore. A simple Latin refrain, "Venite adoremus Dominum," adds a touch of elegance to this expressive retelling of the Christmas story.

Lovely echo effects between the women and men and a twinkling piano accompaniment make this special - it will take your breath away as it brings out the very best in your choir!

"The darkest midnight in December, no snow or hail nor winter's storm shall hinder us to remember the Babe that on this night was born..." This traditional Irish text floats on a palette of musical colors over wordless phrases which evoke the stillness of the winter night and the rustling of the wind. This award-winning composition uses the celesta, or piano, to set a mood of mystery, innocence and joy in the miracle of Christmas. 10445662 TTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 A Doo-Wop Christmas (With You)— Kirby Shaw. With lyrics that string together famous doo-wop song titles, set to a 1950s rock-and-roll beat, this is an incredibly clever tribute to the doo-wop era! "Girl, you know I miss you more and more each day. There's Tears on My Pillow 'cause you're A Thousand Miles Away. But you'll be home for Christmas and very soon we'll be lighting Sixteen Candles 'round the Christmas tree! And we'll sing: Bop shoo bop shoo bobba rang-a-lang-a ding dong..."

Kings' Processional—Debra Morton. This strophic setting, based on an ancient Advent play, depicts each of the three Magi in the bass, baritone and tenor sections, respectively. Effective as a processional, but also successful when performed on risers, it may be sung with or without piano and percussion (triangle, tambourine, bass drum). Sung in Latin throughout, this is a powerful portrayal of the pilgrimage of the three Kings! 10443514 TTB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.80 The Little Drummer Boy—arr.
