This beautiful folk melody will capture the hearts of students and audiences. Originally scored for large orchestra, this string arrangement captures the essential qualities often heard in the English style of chamber music for strings from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Holst's melody, with its simple pentatonic folksong theme, receives the kind of mystical transformation we often associate with British composers' treatments of their indigenous wellspring---the folksong. All sections share in the melodic themes while passages for a quartet of soloists add textural interest. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

And It Came to Pass, Emmanuel: A compelling musical triumph that invites the listener on a journey that ultimately leads to worship of the Christ Child. The text of the Christmas story blends seamlessly with original narrative and exquisite lyric writing from Rose Aspinall, and Jay Rouse's incredible ability to fashion original melodies and arrange Christmas favorites with nuance and passion is on full display. The musical opens with an ethereal underscore that leads effortlessly into a 6/8 interpretation of Adeste Fideles, followed directly by the theme song and anchor ballad for the musical, And It Came to Pass. Also included are a song written specifically for this work that gives voice to Joseph's fears and longings; a traditional gospel setting of the all-time favorite Jesus, What a Wonderful Child; a syncopated, upbeat angel and shepherd announcement song titled Fire in the Sky; and a tender worship moment at the manger called Jesus, Prince of Peace. With a little something for everyone, this creative work is sure to be an important part of your Christmas season.
