Rejoice, East and West pairs two of the most popular holiday pieces. O Come, O Come Emmanuel is one of the staples of music for the season of Advent. Its plaintive melody represents the subdued tone of Advent, waiting and anticipating during the four weeks before Christmas Day. The modal character has roots in Ancient Greece and is characteristic of the music from Middle Eastern countries. The melody of Joy to the World is attributed to George Frideric Handel. It first appeared in 1719 in a collection by Isaac Watts, who adapted the text. It is one of the most published Christmas hymns in North America and is one of the most iconic songs for celebrating the birth of Christ. The connection between these two contrasting pieces is rejoice. In Emmanuel the modal tones arrive at a major chord and the words exclaim Rejoice, rejoice! This is where a bridge is composed to arrive at a jubilant introduction of Joy to the World. This arrangement teaches students dynamic contrast, tempo changes, slurs and ties.

Phillip Keveren has crafted a magnificent, orchestra-driven carol medley that will showcase your choir and allow for plenty of congregational participation. Beginning with the poignant plea, O Come, O Come Emmanuel and ending with the celebratory O Come, Let Us Adore Him your choir and congregation will enjoy the rich tapestry of moods and textures woven by Keveren. You can perform the medley in its entirety (13:15), or consider using one of the two edit points in the piece to sing a shorter medley (10:27 or 7:43). Each vocal part is contained on a separate staff; however, the vocal writing is surprisingly accessible. Your orchestra will also find the instrumental writing to be substantial but quite reasonable in range and difficulty.
