    Sr. Thea’s faith-filled presence, singing, and teaching has inspired my journey as a liturgical musician and educator.

It is difficult to imagine a Christmas Eve Candlelight service without this beautiful carol for mixed choir. It is also appropriate for Epiphany and is, fortunately, accessible for singers and accompanists alike. It is further enhanced by the addition of a violin or other C-instrument.

This lively, dance-like 16th century tune has inspired both secular and sacred arrangements by generations of writers. Now, Michael Bryson has ingeniously paired it with two historic texts, one for Advent/Christmas (“Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus”) and one for General/Eastertide (“I Will Sing of My Redeemer”). Optional Flute and Percussion add to this anthem, which features regular two against three rhythm passages and imaginative choral writing.

A folk-infused ballad celebrating the miracle of Hanukkah. Originally recorded by 90s pop sensation Lisa Loeb, this reflective change-of-pace choral features a rhythmic yet mellow accompaniment and straightforward but expressive vocal parts. Whether you perform with the guitar-inspired piano part, the optional SoundTrax CD, or a folk ensemble of your own, this is truly a special touch for holiday concerts.

Because of changes in our school's schedule and the taking away of the music requirement in 7th and 8th grade, our choir numbers have dropped significantly. Searching for music that has educational value and that the choir will sound good on (we know that's important for the parents and faculty) I came across Light arranged by Andy Beck. This quickly became a favorite of my choir! The kids are excited to rehearse it every day and the sound they are achieving fits the folk-like feel of the piece.

We are using the 2-Part version. Being 7th and 8th graders, of my nine boys, three are unchanged voices (singing alto as written) and my other six are in varying stages of voice change. Those six are bouncing back and forth between alto and soprano parts, singing them down an octave.

Thank you for providing a great piece for the holiday season!

Soli SATB, SATB Choir, 2 Pfte, Armo - Level 3

SKU: CA.4065094

Composed by Gioachino Rossini. Carus Choir Coach. 3 Ex., Practice-CD, basso. Sacred vocal music, Masses, Latin. Compact Disc. Composed 1863. Duration 90 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 40.650/94. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.4065094).

Language: Latin.

Next to the Stabat Mater, the Petite Messe solennelle of 1863 is Rossini's second extensive sacred composition. Ostensibly, the work was an occasional piece, written for the dedication of a private chapel for the once well-to-do Parisian nobility. This explains the reduced instrumental accompaniment for two pianos and harmonium. Of course this instrumental garb, reminiscent of decent, elevated salon music, produces an unmistakable timbre which through its typical Rossini rhythm obtains an additional flair. Score available separately - see item CA.4065000.
