4 Hear the Angels, Hear Them Sing—Vicki
Bedford. The late J. Paul Williams gave us so
many wonderful lyrics for children's choirs; here is
a Christmas one that is brand new. Vicki Bedford
has fashioned a catchy melody with rhythm and
verve, and let the two vocal parts echo and play.
Smuggling in the chorus to Angels We Have
Heard on High was a stroke of genius. Children's
choirs will eat this one up.

Here We Come A-Caroling—arr. Becki Slagle
Mayo. From the rollicking piano and vocal
introduction to the final "fa-la-la-la!", treble
choirs will experience the joy of the season while
learning this well-known carol, also known as
Here We Come A-Wassailing. Expressing wishes
for happiness and prosperity in the coming new
year, its roots come from the European tradition
of street caroling. "Love and joy come to you,
and a merry Christmas too!"

4t Here We Come A-Caroling—arr. Kirby Shaw.
This joyful calypso-style arrangement is easy
enough to learn and add to your a cappella
repertoire for the holidays this year. There's
plenty of repetition, and the "Bop bop bah dot"
figures will make it a total blast to rehearse and
perform. You'll want to sing this in your holiday
concert as well as for caroling and community
performances! Highly recommended!

4e Hodie Alleluia—Mark Sirett. This is a
contemporary setting of the traditional Vespers
antiphon for Christmas Eve, "Hodie Christus
natus est." The African and jazz influences found
in this score were inspired by the composer's
experiences in Ghana. Written for SSA choir,
piano and djembe, this setting captures the
multicultural spirit of the song.

Schram. The traditional carol is partnered with

selection for young choirs. It offers a wonderful
opportunity to feature an instrumentalist on flute

bring hope and joy to you."

Ivory. In its juxtaposition of a European chant

(Nation, Do Not Cry) for an unforgettable musical
offering in your December concert.

Ijames. The tender questions of childlike wonder
embrace the events of that miraculous night
in Bethlehem. Written for two-part voices,

e How Like a Winter—Ruth Morris Gray. "How
like a winter hath my absence been, like a winter,
from thee..." This artful setting of a text by William
Shakespeare works equally well as a winter
piece or as a secular concert work. Sing the
liquid phrases with a beautiful line and observe
the tempo nuances to attain the most expressive
performance. Haunting!

4 I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day—Jean
Baptiste Calkin/arr. Ryan O'Connell. This fresh
arrangement treats the traditional English carol
like a contemporary theater piece. You may
recognize the words and the tune, but you'll
hear the meaning for the very first time, and
Longfellow's text is still poignant today as we
continue to strive for "peace on earth, good will
to men."

l I Saw Three Ships—arr. Jerry Estes. The vibrant
Celtic feel of this exhilarating arrangement of the
familiar English carol is absolutely infectious!
Handclaps, percussion (high drum and low
drum), and violin add to the merriment, and
the series of ascending key changes fuel the
excitement to its strong, rhythmic conclusion. It
will be equally effective programmed anywhere
on your holiday concert, and would be especially
nice as an opening number.

H I Wish You Christmas—John Rutter. The
incomparable musicianship of John Rutter
shines through every measure of this heartfelt
original. "I wish you starlight on fields of snow,
the winter's morning light and evening's glow; I
wish you candles that shine from every tree, so all
the world can see the light that there could be..."
Especially effective as a closer for a Christmas
concert or pageant, it conveys a universal
message of peace, joy and love for every day of
the year. "And may God bless you till we all shall
meet again." Highly recommended!
