Originally published in 1978, this expressive and dynamic anthem from Undine Smith Moore is ideal for Lent or anytime a choral setting of the Kyrie is needed, and it has now been re-released in the St. Olaf Choral Series. Editor Anton Armstrong notes that Undine Smith Moore was often referred to as the “Dean of Black Women Composers, and while many of her compositions are concert arrangements of African American spirituals, this piece is an original work written in the harmonic and melodic style of a spiritual. Suggestions by the editors provide tips for smaller choirs who wish to sing this anthem.

This Christmas cantata was conceived with two main ideas: to provide a new cantata that was accessible to most choirs, and to provide a major work that would have wide appeal to choirs and congregations. Tidings of Great Joy uses brief melodic quotes from familiar carols interwoven with new material (text and music) to tell the story of Christmas in a fresh way. There is considerable variety in the instrumentation and vocal work, providing for several soloists, women's chorus, men's chorus and an octet. Even though it is quite acceptable to perform this work with organ only, the use of instruments adds greatly to the overall effect and success of the piece. Texts by: Mary Jackson Cathey and Rae E. Whitney Instrumental parts are available for rental or sale 56 pages Published by: Zimbel Press.

The Christmas miracle is canonically admired in this six-part setting by Javier Busto. The soprano leads, the other voices follow with no offset. The three-part hallelujah, which is sung first by the women and then by the men and ends tutti in the forte, leads to a jubilant conclusion.
