Bach's cantata BWV 151, whose wonderfully heartfelt opening aria has been rightly numbered among Bach's most inspired ideas (Alfred Durr), was composed for the 3rd day of Christmas 1725. Flute and oboe d'amore lend pastoral coloring to the chamber music sound picture. The oboe d'amore was not originally included in Bach's score; after completing the score he added the part to the orchestra for the first performance. In a later performance about 1728-1731 Bach replaced the flute by a solo violin, adding various performing instructions and ornaments, of which a flautist can make use in his originally rather modest part. This new edition by Klaus Hofmann replaces the 1962 publication by Diethard Hellmann. Score and part available separately - see item CA.3115100.

Get Off My Housetop – A Christmas Felony provides a unique and somewhat twisted musical perspective on the concept of Santa Claus. When we review all the lore surrounding St. Nick, it is easy to interpret him and his job as kind of creepy. This student-approved arrangement uses Up On the Housetop and Jolly Old St. Nicholas - along with a host of fun percussion effects - to offer some new thoughts on Santa. You’ve never played a Christmas piece quite like this before!

C. P. E. Bach's nine-movement Magnificat (1749), the first great vocal work from his Berlin years, is among the most magnificent sounding, in which the solo vocal parts are also among the most ambitious settings of the Hymn to the Virgin Mary (Luke 1). The work fulfills all the criteria required for a larger sacred composition: grandeur, dignity, polyphonic and concertante choral movements, sensitive (empfindsam) and expressive arias, a long concluding double fugue. This richly scored Magnificat (with 3 trumpets and timp. ad. lib.), which is almost one hour in duration, would be well suited, for example, as the central work on every Christmas or pre-Christmas concert programme.

He who seeks a moving and lyrical work with rewarding roles for the choir could do no better than to choose Rheinberger's Stern von Bethlehem. In nine scenes (Expectation, The shepherds, The appearance of the angels, The Star, etc.) the Christmas story is lyrically portrayed. Songlike and pastoral choruses, a heartfelt soprano part and finally, the exotic, charming procession of the Wisemen through the desert have insured this work an increasing popularity. It was written in 1890 to a libretto by Rheinberger's wife Fanny.

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!

After a bright opening the music slows to a more leisurely pace where the bass melody is accompanied by triplet thirds in the treble bells. Lots of staccato is called for in the final, bouncy section which speeds up the last five measures to end with a flourish. This rendition is scored in F Major and is 78 measures.

After the Passions-Cantate ,,Ein Lammlein geht und tragt die Schuld of 1775, the Christmas Oratorio is the second major vocal work by Homilius to appear in print during his lifetime. With an unusually large instrumental contingent, Homilius set the, at that time, much beloved pastoral theme of the shepherds in a most sophisticated manner. Each movement presents a clearly differentiated, atmospheric scene, distinct from all the other movements. This applies to the varied pastoral music, as well as to the representation of the mighty God by an angel, whose entrance is accompanied by trumpets and timpani.
