the effect on the listener is mesmerizing! Detailed performance notes give
fascinating historical perspective to the work, as well as an English translation

The Virgin Mary Had a Baby Boy
arr. Russell Robinson.
It's nice to see a three-part men's arrangement of this popular carol! It
captures all the West Indian energy of the original, complete with piano and
optional high and low congas. Everyone is sure to enjoy the calypso beat when
they hear "He come from the glory; He come from the glorious kingdom"
in the rhythmic, harmonic refrain. For school and church choirs, this is a
delightful choice for Christmas!

Starlight (Shining on the Baby)
Sally K. Albrecht & Jay Althouse.
A symbolic ascending fifth opens the main melodic idea in this bright original
for Christmas. Taking inspiration from Angels We Have Heard on High, the
chorus moves in a new harmonic direction, while a brief bridge quotes the
traditional carol. Almost reminiscent of the style of Mannheim Steamroller, this
is indeed stellar!

There Is No Rose

This setting of the traditional English text is melodically beautiful, draped in warm
harmonic fabric that is so very rich and satisfying. "There is no rose of such virtue

This Endris Night
Z. Randall Stroope.
First published in Carols for Choirs 5, this is a touching setting of the well-
known fifteenth-century words. The contours of Stroope's melodic writing
perfectly mirror the narrative from the manger scene, while the simple refrain
highlights the Christ-child's innocence as his mother lulls him to sleep.

The Three Kings
Bob Chilcott.
In The Three Kings, composer Bob Chilcott sets verses from Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow's Christmas poem telling the story of the three kings' journey to
Bethlehem. A sense of travel is created by the stately 6/8 time signature, and
syncopations bring an air of excitement and wonder to the tale.

Underneath Starry Skies
Ruth Elaine Schram.
Gorgeous word painting sets the mood for the first Christmas night:
"underneath starry skies, shepherds are watching their flocks by night, angels
are singing as they are taking flight, and all are invited to greet the new baby
in a stable in Bethlehem." Tenderly tucked in the middle of this piece is the
traditional Welsh carol All Through the Night, giving the listener a taste of the
familiar within this stunning original. An elegant piano accompaniment supports
this memorable piece which is equally suitable for school or church settings.
