The Easter Story retells Jesus' suffering, death, resurrection, and exaltation to the right hand of the Father in a simple yet profound story that engages the heart, mind, and imagination. The musical score draws upon folk sources, including The Sacred Harp and The Columbian Harmony, spirituals, carols, and songs from English, Irish, and Hebrew traditions. The choral score is carefully crafted for choirs of all sizes and is enhanced by three solos. Two speakers share Ken Bible's compelling narrative which is beautifully underscored by piano accompaniment or Michael Lawrence's brilliant orchestration.

Marc-Antoine Charpentier's Christmas mass, the Messe de Minuit, stands fully in the French tradition of celebrating the happy message of Christ's birth with exuberant cheerfulness. Composed around 1694, this midnight mass incorporates ten old French Christmas carols, giving it both a dance-like swing and special tonal colors. For this edition Andreas Grasle has transcribed the orchestral writing for organ. His distribution of the parts between manuals and pedals allows the distinctive tonal and dynamic gradations of the work to be transferred to the organ in an ideal way. So this version with reduced scoring offers a delightful alternative to the original version. The vocal parts (for soloists and choir) are identical with the edition of the original version, so that the vocal score and chorus score of that version can be used.Also available in the original scoring (Carus 21.029/00).Score available separately - see item CA.2102900.

This work grew out of the co-creator's love for the tunes and texts coming out of the Appalachian Mountains and the shape-note and early Moravian singing tradition. In the words of Tim Sharp, ââ¬ÅWe took the image of bands of angels singing and playing at the Nativity as reported in the second chapter of Luke's gospel, transported that image to Appalachia, and Angel Band is the result.ââ¬Â Containing 8 carols (mostly familiar), a processional and recessional, Angel Band is a fusion of ideas ranging from medieval tunes to contemporary bluegrass.

Deck the hall! Trim the tree! Light the lights! It's Christmastime! And that means it's time to sing! We love to sing at Christmas more than any other time of year. Carols, hymns, funny songs, sad songs, songs about the Christmas story and about the Savior, songs about being home for the holidays, songs about reindeer that can fly and mistletoe and pumpkin pie, and everything in-between! We sing because it's a season of joy. We sing because it is a tradition. We sing because laughter fills the air, chestnuts are roasting on the street corner, bell-ringers are collecting for charities, sidewalk Santas are Ho-Ho-Ho-ing, and children everywhere (and some adults, too) are thrilled with the sights and sounds of that most wonderful time of the year! 'Tis the season to sing!

Composers Mary McDonald and Larry Shackley have combined their musical gifts with the inspired lyrics of Pamela Martin to create a captivating thirty-minute cantata for SATB or SAB choirs. In this unique work, the many names of Christ foretold in the Old Testament are used to proclaim the familiar story of Christmas: Emmanuel, God With Us brings to life Mary's visit from the angel; Son of David depicts the journey to Bethlehem; and King of Kings involves the Wise Men and the congregation in worship. Lovely original melodies stand alongside familiar carols to create a musical experience suitable for churches of all traditions. A simple, scriptural narration joins the seven choral pieces, and an optional joyous instrumental overture sets the stage with a medley of Christmas favorites. The orchestration of this work is within the range of many churches, with the option of using digital keyboard along with a small group of woodwinds, brass, and percussion.

Composed for the internationally regarded Choir of New College, Oxford, and its conductor Edward Higginbottom, Rhian Samuel's What Cheer? is a bright and uplifting new setting of words already familiar to singers from popular carols by William Walton and Peter Warlock. The scoring is for SATB choir and organ, with optional short solos for soprano, alto and bass. An eminent and established song composer, Samuel has brought to this text, originally from a 16th-century commonplace book compiled by Richard Hill, her own idiomatic response to the tradition of music for Christmas. Though written for one of the world's great vocal ensembles, What Cheer? is well within the range of accomplished amateur choirs, and the effective scoring for voices captures in ringing choral sounds the buoyant optimism of this poetic celebration of Christ's birth.
