Christmas Anthems
Masters in This HallMark Hayes. Dramatic!
Mark's interpretation of the wonderful French carol
is even more exciting than the original! Unexpected
harmonies, call and response chorals and, of
course, the fabulous accompaniment builds this
setting to massive choral and instrumental heights.
Challenging and so gloriously festive, this is a tour-
de-force for larger groups, community glee clubs,
and adult church choirs whose cries of "Noel, Noel,
Noel!" will resound throughout the Christmas season.

My Soul Glorifies the LordDavid Foley. This
original composition from Dave Foley is a gentle,
contemplative setting of Mary's Magnificat from
Luke 1:46-56, useful during Advent, Christmas, or
general worship. The option for a female soloist at
the start lends itself to Mary's praise and thanks to
the Lord for her child to come. Along with simple
but lush accompaniment, this hymn of praise
quietly glorifies God for the gift Mary carries that is
about to change the world.

Noel Peace CanonRuth Elaine Schram. A
simple statement of the beloved Dona Nobis Pacem
moves seamlessly to the cherished carol The First
Noel in this striking choral work for Christmas.
The two melodies are woven seamlessly into the
musical and textual fabric of the anthem. The
result is a cry for peace that is welcome in every
December musical gathering: in the sanctuary,
concert hall, community gathering, or snow-
covered street corner. This inspired work is an
absolute must!

Noel, Noelarr. Linda Spevacek. The traditional
English carol God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen and
the French carol, Noel Nouvelet! (complete with
the original French lyrics as an option) are joined
with an enhancing, lyrical flute part to create one
of the most memorable arrangements available for
the holiday season! The minor mode is the perfect
backdrop for the "noels" which are creatively woven
into both carols. This piece works equally well in
both school and church settings.
