With Zwei lateinische Marienmotetten for mixed a cappella choir (SATB) and interlude for organ or string quintet, Andreas Pieper has created two gems of Marian devotion which are perfect for being used in church services. The two four-part chants pay homage to the Virgin Mary and refer to two different solemnities of the Roman Catholic Church celebrated in her honour. Whereas Assumpta est Maria is a motet for the Feast of the Assumption of Mary on 15 August, Benedicta es tu, virgo Maria refers to the Feast of the Immaculate Conception celebrated every year on 8 December. Both choral settings can be easily mastered by ambitious church choirs, and the interlude and postlude for organ or string quintet of Assumpta est Maria, the easier one of the two motets, can be easily performed even by amateur musicians.

Nino Rota's Mass was composed in Rome in 1962, the very same year when the Second Vatican Council formally opened in 1962, whose fundamental changes regarding the use of liturgical music directly found expression in Rota's work: As a result, the anticipation of Christmas was to be expressed by pure a cappella works without accompaniment in the Advent season.

During his time as Master of the Queen's Music, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies wrote a new carol for Her Majesty the Queen each Christmas. Ave, Plena Gracia , written for Christmas 2009, was the fifth in this series after An Heavenly Song, Wonder Tidings, The Yule-tide Bell and Kings and Shepherds all of which are published in the Schott Royal Collection.

First performed in St. James's Palace by the choir of the Chapel Royal on the Epiphany at the end of the 2009/2010 Christmas period, Ave, Plena Gracia is a short and traditional Latin setting that would be perfect for amateur choirs looking for new repertoire.

Teach Me Your Way is David's heartfelt prayer to the Lord from Psalm 86. In Michael Ware's enthusiastic setting, these words of lament are turned into a song of praise.

A medley of three lesser-known Christmas Carols (\"Ding Dong! Merrily on High,\" \"O Come O Come Emmanuel,\" and \"Sussex Carol\"), this arrangement begins with a brass fanfare before bringing in the full orchestra with a high-energy prelude to \"Ding Dong! Merrily on High.\" The music then shifts to an SATB arrangement of \"O Come O Come Emmanuel\" mashed up with \"Sussex Carol.\" This is a classic \"must-have\" for all church orchestras and choirs!
