The traditional Greensleeves tune seasoned with a dash of the Renaissance and a generous sprinkling of rhythmic whimsy. This intriguing arrangement is set lightly in compound meter, alternating between 3/4 and 6/8 time. A new treatment of a Christmas classic.

The most extraordinary act of giving the world would ever know happened at Christmas. Yet do you find yourself lost without the ability to respond appropriately - how can we thank God sufficiently for the gift of his Son? The heavenly Father only desires one thing, the gift of our heart, in return. The life-changing message of The Jesus Gift is thoughtfully wrapped in the moving words and music of cherished Christmas songs (ranging from favorite carols to contemporary offerings by Michael W. Smith and Shannon Wexelberg) and beloved standards (such as Light of the Stable and The Jesus Gift). Veteran arranger Tom Fettke and master orchestrator Russell Mauldin have fashioned a 37-minute musical that is long on impact yet moderately easy to prepare and to present. Featuring a single narrator and several solos, this musical is ideal for choirs of limited size or rehearsal time. The Jesus Gift is the perfect offering for your congregation and community to experience this Christmastime!

UPC: 038081562124. English. West Indies Folk Song.

A great fit for choirs of any age or ability! Harry Belafonte sang this joyful West Indies song on his 1956 album Calypso. Dr. Robinson's arrangement has just the right amount of repetition versus development, and will come together quickly with intuitive voice leading and some stylistic syncopation. One a cappella refrain just after the key change features the conga to keep the groove going, and a final descant adds a rhythmic counterline above. Build up the Jamaican vibe with our light SoundTrax accompaniment or the notated percussion part (available free online). The theme: build your house on solid ground.

UPC: 038081552347. English. Traditional Spiritual.

A bluesy rhythmic motive stacks up across voices, creating a compelling introduction and scattered interludes for this hip interpretation of the African-American spiritual. Call-and-response verses give individual sections a chance to shine, and a brief descant plus some optional divisi add that final flourish. A great teaching piece for 2- and 3-part choirs.
