Angels in the SnowSally K. Albrecht & Jay
Althouse. Here's a warm, wintertime ballad with
no mention of the holidays. A dreamy text longs
for snow and captures the delight of making
snow angels. Delicate and independent voice
parts overlap throughout, with just a few sparkling
moments of harmony.

Be a Candle of HopeBecki Slagle Mayo.
A wonderful candle-lighting song for young
voices! "Be a candle of hope, be a candle of
light, a beacon of truth in a dark, hopeless
night. Share the light with a friend and watch
the flame grow. The more light we give, the
more love we'll know..." This will be especially
effective at Christmas or at any time of year as a
closing number.

to sing, it will provide a welcome moment
of peaceful reflection in your winter concert
program! Highly recommended!

added flexibility to this work that is an expressive
