B. Wayne Bisbee sparks new life into an old favorite with his setting of “Deck the Hall.” Instead of the traditional 4/4 chorale melody Bisbee has written a lilting jig in 6/8 and sometimes 7/8 with optional soloistor small group on the middle stanza. The melody is cheerful and festive with a wonderful echo effect on the final “fa la la's.” This festive dance-like version of “Deck the Hall” would make a great concertor festival opener for the holiday season.

This anthem recounts the confident words of the Psalmist The Lord is my light and my salvation! Whom shall I fear? Set in 6/8 meter the easy to learn melody is well supported by a rich steady piano accompaniment and makes a superb anthem for the start of a new choir year. Available separately: Unison/opt. 2-Part Treble CelebrationTrax CD. Duration: ca. 2:26
