Signifying the number of letters in I, Love and You, John Jacobson and Roger Emerson have taken this special affinity, used their more than 30 years of children's educational experience, and created a song befitting of the man whom all consider their neighbor.

Kathi e Hill has done Christmas forward, and now, backwards! Instead of ending with the nativity, Christmas in Reverse starts at the manger, then rewinds to explain the significance of the events leading to the first Christmas. Teaming with co-writer Melody Morris (Fish Tales, Promise U, Christmas SOCCER Team) Kathie provides a wealth of musical settings and simple narrations for this meaty musical. And long before the nativity characters return to the manger, you will be touched (for the first or umpteenth time) by the significance of Jesus' birth. So if you think you've chosen your children's musical for this year, it's time to rewind and take a look at Christmas in Reverse. Ages: 2nd - 8th grades Speaking Parts: minimum 5 children / 3 - 4 Adults or children.

Tradi tional hymn by Anne Hawks and Robert Lowry This hymn setting offers a new take on an old classic with close harmonies and a new meter. Shifting this hymn into 4/4 creates a pleasing and meditative feel. The setting builds to a powerful final stanza and a return to the hymn's original 3/4 meter, closing with the quiet, prayerful plea, I need, I need, I need thee every hour!.

With arching gestures of melodic charm, this octavo presents one of sacred literature's most compelling texts. The piece uses an optional soprano solo with vocal parts providing an orchestra-like tapestry of sound to undergird the expressive main theme. Later the anthem takes on a dramatic turn as jubilant hosannas turn to rabble cries of crucify! before retuning to its lofty theme. A stunning and dramatic choice for Good Friday.

UPC: 763628954314. By James Montgomery & Henry T. Smart. 1 Kings8:27, 1 Thessalonians 4:16, Isaiah 60:3, John 1:14, Job 19:25, Matthew 1:1-12,23, Revelation 1:7.

Christmas hymn by James Montgomery & Henry T. Smart Larry Shackley has taken this Christmas hymn and its tune Regent Square, and done a full-bore gospel treatment, inviting everyone to Come and worship Christ, the newborn King. A solid, swinging piano introduction sets the stage for Brooklyn Tabernacle-style vocal writing, with the basses frequently involved in lively call and response with the rest of the choir. An original bridge asking the congregation, Oh, won't you come and worship? leads into the triumphant final verse that celebrates the second coming of the Messiah as well as the first.
