A different take on Christmas: well-known Christmas numbers in beat, jazz, pop, soul, and swing styles! Vom Himmel hoch mutates into a stylish jazz waltz and Stille Nacht (for some, almost a nightmare in the original) becomes atmospheric, disguised mood music. Thomas Gabriel has composed eight exciting, sophisticated arrangements for choir and piano accompaniment, some with an added melody instrument, and with lots of opportunities for improvisation.

A Christmas celebration for SATB choirs This gospel-flavored musical reflects on the promise of peace delivered by the angels on the night of Jesus' birth. The iconic ballad, Let There Be Peace on Earth is used as musical bookends: its theme is briefly stated in the second movement and then returns in full-blown gospel style at the end to provide an emotion-filled climax. In between, the Christmas story is told through scriptural narration and six beloved carols set in a variety of styles ranging from jazz, to gospel, to calypso. Accompaniment can be provided by piano, full orchestra, or a smaller set of rhythm parts, arranged by Ed Hogan. Performance time is 35 minutes.
