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!

Choral SSA choir, piano

Composed by Greg Gilpin. Duration 3 minutes, 16 seconds. Carl Fischer Music #CM9772. Published by Carl Fischer Music (CF.CM9772).

ISBN 9781491164433. UPC: 680160923335. Key: G major. English. Words adapted from Angels from the Realms of Glory by JAMES MONTGOMERY (1771-1854).

I've always enjoyed celebratory and rhythmic singing.  I also know there's a need for this style in treble voices. The holiday season is a perfect time to create such a work.The text of The Angels' Gloria is based on the familiar Montgomery hymn with original music. This work can be easily be done as a call and answer or antiphonal setting. Try using it as a processional, too. Hearing the voices surround the audience is always exciting for everyone and a superb teaching and learning experience.The accompaniment is intentionally simple and bell-like, supporting the three-part harmonies. I've also created a B-section that is a cappella in full three-part singing, rich and full giving lots of contrast to the piece.There is so much good teaching throughout the piece, making for interesting rehearsals and a terrific performance piece. I hope this adds just the right sparkle for your Christmas or holiday program.—Greg Gilpin.

A contemporary piano accompaniment supports these well-known tunes with fresh harmonies and pianistic textures, and an optional Spanish translation of the traditional lyric offers a unique opportunity for multicultural worship.

Micha el writes, adapts, and arranges music that always catches the eyes and ears of music directors. Choral accessibility and musical care are foremost in his mind as he writes. Michael's setting of this cherished prayer is one of his best to date. The accompaniment is reminiscent of the well-known Bach/Gounod setting as the arpeggio figures accompany the vocal line and choral harmonies. Within the choral texture are some unusual but pleasing harmonic shifts to keep singer and listener engaged. If you know any of Michael's earlier works, you will surely want this one in your library.
