Shepherds Heard a Lullaby
Kathy Powell.
A sweet text by Kathy Powell joins the sound of a lullaby on the air calling to
the shepherds with images of the bright star that led them to the Christ child.
Interesting harmonic textures lead each verse to its climax. The accompaniment
and choral voice leading work together in a lovely blend. They create a singular
motif that depicts the journey of the shepherds and then invokes us to find the
love of God in the infant Jesus.

O Come, Little Children
arr. Ruth Elaine Schram.
O Come, Little Children is paired with Angels We Have Heard on High in this
arrangement that is equally appropriate for school or church choirs. An open-
fifth motive on "Come, come..." adds an element of mystery and hushed
anticipation as the children approach the manger and the angels sing above.
This is very sweet for choirs at all levels!

O Children, Come
Keith & Kristyn Getty/arr. Joseph M. Martin.
Rustic and primitive in its form, this call-and-response anthem from Keith and
Kristyn Getty is powerful. This piece could include congregation, children's
choir, soloists, or other creative combinations of singers. Simple yet profound,
this selection is quickly learned but deep in its impact.

create one of the most touching of Christmas selections. Don't miss the new
SAB choral arrangement and new orchestrations for this Christmas Classic!
Highly recommended!
