Entrance Antiphons for the Church Year contains thirty antiphon texts from the Graduale Simplex, translated from Latin and set to newly composed music. The psalm verses appointed for these antiphons are taken from the Grail translation (1963). As with the Responsorial Psalm of the Mass, the assembly sings the antiphon after its intonation by the cantor/choir, repeating it after each verse of the psalm. The number of psalm verses which are sung may vary according to need. The singing of the doxology, Glory to the Father, while recommended, is optional. In several cases (e.g., Christmas and Easter), the assembly sings a refrain—a simple acclamation in Latin—and the actual antiphon text is sung by the cantor/choir. The antiphon functions as a first and final verse. It is thought that liturgical singing in the early Church consisted in part of such short acclamatory phrases. Many of the antiphons in this collection are proper to a specific Sunday, solemnity, or feast. The rest are seasonal in nature and, like the common Responsorial Psalms of the Lectionary, may be chosen according to what seems best for the occasion. The antiphons of Christmas Day and Easter Sunday could be used at daily Masses during their octaves. Notations in the scores of some antiphons suggest alternate occasions when they are appropriate. Regarding performance, these compositions were conceived with flexibility in mind. Assembly participation and instrumental accompaniment are assumed. SATB choral singing is effective, but not necessary. Discrete use of descants where provided can lend an air of festivity. Psalm verses might be sung by an entire choir, by a small group or cantor, or a combination of both.

Scored for SATB voices, assembly and organ with optional brass quintet and timpani, the time-honored tune MARION is set most festively in traditional style. Vocal parts are easy to master, and the brass quintet and timpani parts make the anthem crackle with energy. The organ accompaniment is printed in the full score.

Familiar words, new melody. Ruth's cheerful a cappella setting of the yuletide text accentuates the peace on earth lyric, adding a harmonically rich bridge on just those words. Crisp choral ding dong entrances, a melodic twist in the middle, and a tuneful final descant decorate the otherwise strophic verses. Add to the festivity (and anchor the minor-key tonality) with optional tubular bells or chimes.

Though Frederick Delius was in no sense a man of traditional religious beliefs, the distinguished composer and organist Derek Healey has imagined the sound of a Christmas carol he might have written, and given us Sleep, Holy Babe!, a delightful unaccompanied SATB setting of Edward Caswall's classic hymn. The result will delight all lovers of Delius's music, and not least those who wish to add a dash of his unique style to this year's Christmas festivities. A slow and expressive lullaby, Sleep, Holy Babe! adds a different nuance to each of the four verses, reflecting their changing moods. In turn, sopranos, tenors, basses and altos have solo roles, and together create a richly Delian sonority that stays well within the technical range of an average choir.
