Christmas cantata. Composed by Josef Gabriel Rheinberger. CD-Reihen bei Carus: Carus Choir Coach. Carus Choir Coach (audio only). Composed 1890. Op. 164. Duration 48 minutes. Carus Verlag #5016491. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.5016491).

German/English. Text: von Hoffnaaß, Franziska (Fanny).

He who seeks a moving and lyrical work with rewarding roles for the choir could do no better than to choose Rheinberger’s Stern von Bethlehem. In nine scenes (Expectation, The shepherds, The appearance of the angels, The Star, etc.) the Christmas story is lyrically portrayed. Songlike and pastoral choruses, a heartfelt soprano part and finally, the exotic, charming procession of the Wisemen through the desert have insured this work an increasing popularity. It was written in 1890 to a libretto by Rheinberger’s wife Fanny. On account of
their similar scoring, this work can be easily combined for a performance with Mendelssohn’s Vom Himmel hoch or Die Geburt Christi. Score available separately - see item CA.5016400.

French.

Pastoreles De Noël b y André Jolivet is a piece for Flute, Bassoon and the Harp lasting nearly 13 minutes. This piece is really gentle and restrained which demonstrates the quality ofJolivet’ s work but also reflects that period of WWII when France was under occupation. These scores are of medium level of ability.

Pastore les De Noël f eatures four sections:L’é toile (the Star), Les Mages (the Wisemen), La Vierge et l’Enfant (the Virgin and the Child) and Entrée et Danse des Bergers (the Shepherds’ dance). Each of these parts describes a part oftheChristmas story, starting with the Flute and the Bassoon in a duet, followed by the entrance of the Harp to settle the first part. The second section is quieter, expressing the walk in the desert. The Virgin and the Child islike a lullaby and the piece finishes on a joyful dance to express happiness and devotion.

André Jolivet is a French composer who was really inspired by the Antiquity, and had a strong interest foratonality. He also wrote many chamber music pieces, eleven concertos, some orchestral and some vocal music.

Randy Vader, Jay Rouse, and Camp Kirkland present the powerful sequel to THE WONDERS OF HIS LOVE. Christmas is a modern day miracle of ancient origin. Two thousand years of human history have not diminished the importance nor the implications of the Incarnation. The joy of that event will resound for millennia to come. As we celebrate the antiquity of the Christmas story, we must be mindful of the significance the account of the coming of Christ has on our lives today. The Light that shone from Bethlehem, from Galilee to Jerusalem, from a rugged cross to the Father's throne; that Light still shines in the darkest night it will lead us home. The visions of a star, a stable, shepherds, wisemen, a young mother and father, and a tiny baby in a manger of hay, are still wreathed in wonder and awe. The tidings of great joy that reach to us from that time long ago in that place far away, resound with this great promise and truth... “the people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.” (Matthew 4:16).

Composed by Alec Wyton. Choral, Christmas. Octavo. Paraclete Press #8806. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.8806).

Recalling the first Christmas pilgrims with the refrain still journey on,--a kind of motto-theme of this carol--and including references to the shepherds and wisemen, this carol makes a good candidate for the Christmas procession anthem. Mr. Wyton has constructed it in such a way that it also makes an excellent congregational carol when all verses are sung to the haunting first verse melody.
