Singing “The Old Rugged Cross” as a simple hymn can be a soul-stirring experience, but Gray’s treatment of this chestnut is at turns comfortable as a well-worn sweater, then affecting as a cool breeze on a hot day. Subtle harmonies underscore the text in a fresh way without being avant-garde for its own sake.

Our source for the present edition of his Missa ad octo voces inaequales, Op. 65 is that issued in 1920 by the London firm of Bayley & Ferguson. This was not the work's first outing, however. In 1918, Bailey & Ferguson published a setting of this mass in English (Communion Service: Mass in C, for Eight Voices a Cappella, Op. 65, also published by Crescendo Music Publications), with movements ordered according to the Prayer Book. Perhaps to allow the work a larger audience, Henschel slightly modified the music to fit the Latin syllabification and reordered the movements, but essentially the work is as it was two years earlier.

Our edition includes a full list of editorial changes and corrections. Also available is a version which omits the Credo, for churches where it is sung congregationally.

Heaven and Nature Sing! offers a familiar text, with a new fluid, reflective tune. As the arrangement builds, there is a unique option for the audience to join the choir in a celebrative verse of Joy to the World. A string and percussion orchestration is available to further express the arrangement.

Who can forget this #1 hit by the British duo Wham! Kirby's choral adaptation gets right in the groove of the finger-snapping piece of pop perfection. For even more fun, add the optional SoundPax or SoundTrax CD, 1980s costumes, and some show choir choreography. Jitterbug!
