Few carols capture the hush of winter and the wonder of Jesus' birth with such beauty as this beloved carol. Using a rhapsodic piano part and exquisite vocal layering, the composer carries the listener away with the dreams of joy and peace as the setting comes to a breathless conclusion. Save a particularly meaningful spot in your Christmas Eve service or December concert for this stellar musical offering. 10366982 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.00 t Still, Still, StillMatthew Culloton. A choral moment that will take your breath away! Set against a gentle rocking syncopation, the familiar Austrian carol is surrounded by a choral halo that recalls the wonder of the first Christmas night with captivating beauty. Divisi choral parts, a baritone solo, and luscious a cappella harmonies come together in an unforgettable setting that displays the artistry of your choir as well as the mystery of the Nativity. 10368625 SATB with Baritone Solo . . . . 1.70 t There Is No RoseGuy Forbes. 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 as is the rose that bare Jesu..." A stunning a cappella feature for Christmas! 10602899 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.35 H This Little BabeBenjamin Britten. This exciting Christmas carol, originally for treble voices, comes from Britten's "A Ceremony of Carols." The accompaniment, written for harp, may also be played by keyboard. 162636 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 162545 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.15 Three Contemporary Latin SettingsJerry Estes. This special set of three short pieces is great for captivating and motivating developing choirs; it is now available for SATB choirs as well. The easy, repeated Latin phrases come to life with fresh musical ideas. The Kyrie, with its staccato versus legato singing, contrasts with the simple, melodic ballad feel of the Adoramus Te, which in turn is contrasted with the celebratory style and energy of the Gloria in Excelsis Deo. For school or church, sung independently or as a set, for holiday use or at any time of year, this is a powerhouse for teaching and performing! Highly recommended! 10592976 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50 1818616 Three-Part Mixed . . . . . . . . . 2.50 10592978 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50 1866367 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50 1866375 TTB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50 10592979 P/A CD . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 26.99 n The Three KingsBob 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. 10615990 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.10 H Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing DayJohn Gardner. Since its publication in 1966, this arrangement of a timeless carol has continued to be a popular choice with mixed choral groups at Christmas time. 624783 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.95 H Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing DayJohn Rutter. Although based on an English Christmas carol, the primary use of this John Rutter arrangement for SSA chorus is as a deservedly popular selection for contest or festivals. 4806493 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.40 t Veni, Veni Emmanuel (I Will Come)arr. Michael John Trotta. A rhythmic ostinato on "Veni, veni" and optional percussion (triangle, tambourine and drum) infuse the traditional Advent carol with such unrelenting energy, the effect on the listener is mesmerizing! Detailed performance notes give fascinating historical perspective to the work, as well as an English translation of the text, which is Latin throughout. This is a unique take on the ancient carol that will be an exhilarating a cappella highlight of your Christmas concert! 10509932 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.75 10584797 SSAA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.75 n What Child Is This?arr. Darmon Meader. This beautifully textured Darmon Meader arrangement is very sweet and singable, with a simple, supportive piano accompaniment. An amazingly effective a cappella section helps to distinguish this as one of the very best settings available of the beloved English carol, and it is accessible to a wide range of choirs. Highly recommended! 10586498 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50 n What Strangers Are These?Dan Forrest. Adapted from an old Scottish carol, this sensitive new setting is accompanied with piano, flute and classical guitar. The piece celebrates not only Jesus' humble birth but the plan of redemption that began to unfold at the stable in Bethlehem on Christmas night. A rich musical tapestry, this striking choral offering is particularly effective for Christmas Eve services. 10366983 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.00 10373846 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.00 10366984 Instrumental Parts SATB Flute & Guitar . . . . . . 17.50 10373847 Instrumental Parts SSA Flute & Guitar . . . . . . . 17.50 n While Shepherds Watched Their FlocksCraig Courtney. Every syllable of Nahum Tate's Christmas text is carefully rendered in Craig Courtney's new melody, set for divisi choral forces and piano. A sound rhapsody through every measure, this is absolutely glorious music for mixed, men's or women's choir that might be the expressive high point of your December Christmas celebration. 10366985 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 10366986 SSAA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.15 10366987 TTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 Sacred All Voicings Medium-Advanced n All My Heart This Night RejoicesZ. Randall Stroope. "All my heart this night rejoices, as I hear, far and near, sweetest angel voices..." The composer has adapted portions of the original English text translation in this magnificent a cappella setting. Stroope's mastery of the choral idiom is clearly evident in every phrase of this deeply emotional work. 10030081 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 t The Beautiful SingEric William Barnum. "There's a song in the air!" The famous text by Josiah Gilbert Holland is treated with great sensitivity in this superb composition. Lush harmonies and soaring melodies make this an elegant addition to the Christmas literature for better a cappella choirs! "...for the manger of Bethlehem cradles a king." Highly recommended! 10593114 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.05 n Cradle HymnKim Andre Arnesen. Kim Andre Arnesen's beautifully expressive piece is set to a poem by the famous hymn writer Isaac Watts. Featured on the 2013 St. Olaf Christmas concert broadcast from Norway, this hymn is perfect for Christmas or any time of the year. 10513182 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 n The Darkest Midnight in DecemberStephen Main. "The darkest midnight in December, no snow or hail nor winter's storm shall hinder us to remember the Babe that on this night was born..." This traditional Irish text floats on a palette of musical colors over wordless phrases which evoke the stillness of the winter night and the rustling of the wind. This award-winning composition uses the celesta, or piano, to set a mood of mystery, innocence and joy in the miracle of Christmas. 10067369 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.35 10357004 SSAA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 10445662 TTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 H Fantasia on Christmas CarolsRalph Vaughan Williams. A "Fantasia" in the truest sense, this choral tapestry of English carols was composed in 1912 after Vaughan-Williams had completed the scores for his first symphony ("The Sea"), and the Tallis Fantasia. In this relatively short work for Baritone soloist, chorus and orchestra, we find the essence of Vaughan-Williams style and compositional mastery - hallmarks of a richly productive artistic output that defined a nationalist movement in music that continues to this day. Centered on four traditional carols: The Truth Sent From Above; Come All You Worthy Gentlemen; On Christmas Night; and There Is A Fountain; it also features fragments of other well-known carol tunes. 379081 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.00 3147691 TTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.40 5352448 Instrumental Parts Solo Cello Part . . . . . . . . . . 13.00 5408109 Additional Score Chorus with Orch . . . . . . . . 33.00 5408091 Orchestration . . . . . . . . . . . 83.00 Ht Lux AurumqueEric Whitacre. Celebrated composer Eric Whitacre has written this essay on a Christmas text that weaves a rich choral tapestry of light and the soft singing of angels for the newborn child. 3281698 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.55 2481949 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . 95.00 t Patapanarr. David Conte. This charming a cappella setting of the familiar carol has a bright, rhythmic ostinato pattern that moves between the sections of the choir. The Christmas story is told from the perspective of shepherds playing simple instruments - flutes and drums - the onomatopoetic sound of which gives the carol its name. "Pat-a- pan" is meant to mimic the sound of the drum, and an accompanying lyric, "tu-re-lu-re-lu," the flute. 10514620 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.80 10514622 SSAA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 10514623 TTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 n Rejoice and Sing!John Rutter. This joyful, sprightly carol comes from Sir David Willcocks: A Celebration in Carols. With its uplifting 7/8 time signature, memorable melody, rich and diverse textures, and delightful orchestral accompaniment, this carol is a fitting tribute to one of the great names synonymous with Christmas. 10615978 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.75 10661539 Instrumental Parts . . . . . . . 75.00 10661540 Score. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 24.95 t Serenity (O Magnum Mysterium)Ola Gjeilo. For a cappella mixed voices with violin or cello (parts included), this soundscape on the traditional O Magnum Mysterium text has long phrases that seem to suspend the listener in space. A full six minutes in duration, it is a stunningly beautiful contribution to the repertoire for medium-advanced choirs! 10304873 SSAATTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.95 n There Is No RoseZ. Randall Stroope. Floating suspensions and understated piano lines characterize Randall Stroope's haunting setting of the beautiful Christmas text from the 15th century. Scored for women's voices, piano and oboe, it is a rich, emotive selection for the holiday season. 5878830 SSAA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.20 n This Endris NightZ. 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. 10616002 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.80 H What Sweeter MusicJohn Rutter. "What sweeter music can we bring than a carol for to sing the birth of Christ, our heavenly King." This tender setting of the traditional carol text has become one of John Rutter's most cherished Christmas anthems. Don't miss the new and accessible SSA setting! 1693936 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.70 10523432 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.80 9513922 Violin 1 for SATB . . . . . . . . . 6.50 9513923 Violin 2 for SATB . . . . . . . . . 6.50 9513924 Viola for SATB . . . . . . . . . . . 6.50 9513925 Cello for SATB . . . . . . . . . . . 6.50 9513926 Bass for SATB . . . . . . . . . . . 6.50 3008208 Full Score for SATB . . . . . . 24.95 10661563 Instrumental Parts for SSA . 40.00 10661564 Full Score for SSA . . . . . . . 19.95 BEST SELLERS Christmas & Holiday Sacred & Secular Women's Choir Buy with confidence!
