Changing meters of 10/8 and 6/8 are sure to grab your attention in this contemporary Christmas choral. Rhythmic four-part voices sing mostly in Latin (with occasional joy to the world interjections) and with various choral textures. Staggered Glorias kick it off with exuberance and joyfully return before the final flourish. It's an inspired surprise when the addition of a descant cleverly combines themes we've heard before. Invite a snare drum player to join (part included) to reinforce the triumphant tone.

A triumphant unison fanfare sounds a clarion call in praise of music at the start of this concert/contest opener, followed by a contemplative, chant-like middle section on a brief Latin text. An accelerating return to the jubilant main theme leads to a majestic and satisfying conclusion. Be sure to add the optional trumpet part for full effect.

An achievable thriller on a familiar Latin text! Jay Althouse's compelling mixed meter theme develops into a shimmering array of contemporary harmonies in this exciting, angular work. A reflective adagio section in the middle offers contrast before returning to the rhythmic opening.

A single voice states the opening phrase before it returns in ethereal 4-part women's harmony in this gorgeous setting of the mass text. Close harmonies and gentle motivic imitations throughout invite an intimate sense of wonder. Intricate divisi writing provides a satisfying challenge for advanced choirs. Highly recommended!

The drone of the bells, the whispers from the choir, the Stevenson text, set the mood for winter. The choir's harmonies dance around the central tonality like a cold wind, always returning respectfully to the earth. A lovely piece for the fall concert for advanced high school and college treble ensembles. Medium to difficult.
