Keeping Advent in a school or parish is challenging, especially when the surrounding culture begins the celebration of Christmas earlier and earlier each year.  Creation to Christmas is a wonderful tool to remind all involved that the anticipation of the season is for someone, not some thing.  This Advent program is rich in both musical and catechetical content as it teaches students not only about salvation history but music history as well, incorporating various spirituals throughout the program.  Everything your community needs to prepare this program is provided here: a full script with keyboard or guitar arrangements of the songs, director’s notes, templates for the Jesse Tree ornaments, and necessary participation forms, with reprintable elements provided on the included CD-ROM.  Sure to become a well-loved tradition year after year!

These psalm refrains and Gospel acclamations are crafted to be singable and expressive. For each Sunday and Holy Day, a carefully selected musical refrain is paired with a Gregorian or modern psalm tone with the verse text set under the notation in large print. Through-composed verse settings for a number of the psalms are included, and many refrains have choral harmony. The CD-set contains recordings of all the responsorial psalms and Gospel Acclamations for Sundays, feasts, and solemnities, as well as common seasonal psalms, psalms for funerals, and other music. These psalm settings and acclamations coordinate with WLP’s worship resources but will find a welcome home in any parish setting.

Keyboard World is a beginner method for keyboard that is especially suitable for older children or teenagers who are learning the keyboard and can be used with or without a teacher, for individual lessons or for group lessons. The different ways of using the keyboard are introduced: playing with or without the automatic accompaniment, reading notes and chord symbols, but also playing by ear, as well as composing and improvising. Each lesson begins with an overview of the new material which will follow. After a rhythm or aural exercise, a piece without automatic accompaniment follows (in other words, you are playing in the style of a piano) for which you will need to read notes forboth hands. These pieces can be played along with the enclosed CD. On the right-hand page, you will find pieces for playing with an automatic accompaniment - here you will need to read notes for the right hand, and read chord symbols for the left hand.At the end of each lesson, there’s an assignment: e.g. note riddles, theory questions, composition tasks or musical games. The first six lessons differ slightly from this pattern, because at the beginning a bit more time is needed to explain the details.
