This Baroque-style setting of the quintessential Christmas text may present a bit of a challenge to some keyboardists, but the spirit of the piece is well worth the effort! Rather than eclipse the traditional pairing of ANTIOCH and “Joy to the World,” both versions could be used in the same worship service.

UPC: 785147875109. English. Text by Rory Cooney.

While the tune is based on a traditional Czech carol, this is one of Rory Cooney’s most powerful original texts. The piece would make a stunning Communion meditation, evoking images of joy at the infant Savior’s birth, while foreshadowing his sacrifice so that we might eat of the Living Bread. The piano provides support for the choral parts, but the piece may be sung a cappella, or, if circumstances allow, the use of the optional string quartet will add to the warmth expressed in the words and harmony of the singers. String Quartet or Keyboard accompaniment.

A magical carol setting that transports the listener into Christina Rosetti's beloved Christmas text written in London (listen for the subtle hints of Big Ben!). Ethereal melodic echos eventually build to soaring vocal lines before giving way to a tender final stanza of What can I give him, poor as I am.... An intimate yet deeply moving arrangement for SATB or SSA voices with piano.
