Made popular by American Idol star David Archuleta and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir on their Glad Christmas Tidings album, this original carol tells the Christmas story from the perspective of two animals in the stable. And the night skies rang as the angels sang, when love came down to the earth. Appropriate for both school and church.

“My Lord! What a Morning” follows the tradition of spirituals by opening with a soulful chorus expressing deep sentiment. The verse that ensues not only introduces musical diversity but also serves as the narrative foundation, providing context for the emotional chorus that follows. This structure creates a compelling ABA format: while the A section vividly describes the falling stars, the B section poignantly alludes to the impending second coming of the Son of God as the catalyst behind this celestial event. This piece captures the stark contrast of the B section through staggered vocal entrances, a brisker tempo, and a crescendo culminating in a hauntingly profound chord on the word “underground” in bar 22. This is predominantly an SAB arrangement, occasionally diverging with nuanced vocal splits in the lowest voice part. The juxtaposition of these elements ensures an evocative and captivating performance, painting a vivid musical picture of this spiritual masterpiece.

It's about time that someone asked the question What Were You Thinking? regarding the gifts in The Twelve Days of Christmas. This humorous commentary on the impracticality of twenty-three birds, eight cows, fifty people, and a tree will have your audiences erupting with laughter. The conversational approach to this piece allows for opportunities to stage your choir accordingly to help express the back-and-forth dialogue and intensification of the argument before arriving at a happy conclusion.

The cantata Sei Lob und Ehr dem hochsten Gut (All glory to the Lord of Lords) BWV 117 is one of a small group of Bach's chorale cantatas which use exclusively the text of the chorale, including in the three recitatives and three arias. Only the autograph score of the cantata survives; although this enables an approximate dating to be made (c. 1730), it does not give the occasion for which the cantata was written. The choice of chorale may indicate it was composed for a wedding. Recently it has been suggested that the occasion for its composition was the birthday of the Duke of Weissenfels in 1731; but there is no firm evidence to support either theory. The cantata opens with an extended movement for chorus in which Bach contrasts the concertante orchestra with festive, almost homophonic choral writing. This chorus movement is repeated at the end. A simple chorale movement which comes fourth indicates that the nine-movement cantata was performed in two sections. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.3111700.

A delicate piano introduction leads the listener to an elegant setting of Christina Rossetti's inquisitive poem. Well-conceived voice leading makes the fully realized choral harmony beautifully singable, and each voice part gets a turn with the celestial melody. Text painting, lyrical lines, warm suspensions, emotional range---it's all here, ready to amaze audiences and adjudicators.
