In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,                                                       Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;                                                               Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,                                                             In the bleak midwinter, long ago.What can I give Him, poor as I am?                                                                                        If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;                                                                         If I were a Wise Man, I would do my part;                                                                        Yet what I can I give Him: give my heart.The text from this beloved poem of Christina Rossetti (1830–1894) was originally published in an 1872 issue of Scribner’s Monthly, under the title A Christmas Carol. In the first of its five stanzas, the speaker describes in great detail a bitingly cold winter scene, void of both warmth and light. By the final stanza, the speaker's thoughts turn inward, asking what gift they may offer the infant Jesus, meek though they believe themselves to be.The poem was later set by English composer Gustav Holst (1874–1934) as a contribution to the English Hymnal in 1906 and remains the most popular setting today.London-born Rossetti came to be regarded not only as one of the greatest female poets of her time, but as an outspoken advocate on several societal issues, including slavery and cruelty towards animals.In this setting, word painting is of the utmost importance. Careful attention to word stress throughout the course of the piece will make the performance all the more captivating. Descriptive lines such as “frosty wind made moan” should be conveyed with swelling crescendos, like frigid gusts of frozen air.While this piece features an original tune, the beloved Holst melody is also featured briefly, beginning in m. 28. Take care to bring this out.There are plenty of other allusions to wintry scenes scattered throughout the choral parts as well as the accompaniment. I encourage you to put your sleuthing “hats” on and find them all. It will make the learning experience much more memorable and fun.

James Eliot has created a smart and excellent choral for developing singers. Only the first and best-known parts of the Latin text are used, with the remaining text being English. Cantate Domino is simple in form, yet dynamic in function with a fully supportive piano accompaniment.

UPC: 785147880202. Latin. Text Source: From the Latin Mass.

Agnus Dei is a standard Latin text from the Mass, and is part of the Ordinary (the five or six sections of the Mass that remain the same from day to day). With the repetition of the first line of text, the heartfelt prayer of petition and yearning is in three parts. This setting follows the tradition of using similar music for the first two statements, with some contrast in the music for the concluding dona nobis pacem..

Choral SSA Voices & Piano

SKU: XC.SSA2304A

Composed by George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin. Arranged by Bruce W. Tippette. Octavo. Excelcia Music Publishing #SSA2304A. Published by Excelcia Music Publishing (XC.SSA2304A).

6.75 x 10.5 inches.

George and Ira Gershwin's famous tune Someone to Watch Over Me has been given a new voice in this arrangement for treble voices. Originally written for the musical Oh, Kay as an up-tempo vocal solo, this arrangement keeps the slow, ballad-like style that has been adopted as the preferred way to perform the piece. While the melody has remained untouched, for the most part, the piano accompaniment and vocal harmonies are completely new, but play homage to the overall aura that was originally captured almost 100 years ago.

Composed by Marty Haugen. Celebration Series. Sacred. Octavo. With guitar chord names. 8 pages. GIA Publications #9007. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-9007).

UPC: 785147900702. English. Text Source: Based on Luke 6:27–36, Psalm 103:8, 13, Colossians 3:12–13, Corporal Works of Mercy, adapt. MH. Scripture: Luke 6:27–36, Psalm 103:8, 13, Colossians 3:12–13.

The text of “Be Merciful,” drawn from Luke, reminds us to be merciful to others as God is merciful to us, the verses provide concrete examples. Alternate choral settings for the verses (two-part and “backup”) offer some variety. The relaxed tone suggests natural use as a prelude or even at the preparation of gifts, post-Communion, or other times of reflection. Originally written for the Jubilee Year of Mercy, this song will be appropriate as long as the need for mercy remains.
