A glorious choral Christmas collection of music from around the world!  Through Chris de Silva’s incredible choral writing and inspired instrumental scoring, the themes of Christmas are exquisitely retold – those of light, darkness, shepherds, angels, heaven, earth, fear, wonder, peace, joy, silence and sound. Chris’s formal, classical composition training shines through on each piece. From the joyfully powerful “Singing, We Come Singing” to the regal “The Child Is Born in Bethlehem” and the dance-like “Shepherds on to Bethlehem,” each of these eight pieces work beautifully as stand-alone choices for your choir’s Christmas celebrations. Together, the pieces would work well as part of a well-rounded lessons and carols service.  For choral music lovers, the Mysterium recor ding will become one of your seasonal favorites! Learn more about this collection from composer Chris de Silva, Kate Williams, and Cameron LaBarr in the video below: CONTENTS: Singing, We Come Singing • Holy Night, Blessed Night • Away in a Manger • The Child Is Born in Bethlehem • Shepherds on to Bethlehem • Carol of the Birds • Jul, Jul • Of the Father’s Love • Away in a Manger (reprise).

This versatile collection by Robert Lau consists of 30 very short pieces designed as interludes and crafted for practical use in worship services whenever extra music may be needed: candle lighting, gospel processions, pulpit walking, communion, etc. Each work draws inspiration from well-known hymns, encompassing both seasonal and general selections. The simple registrations all emphasize a solo/accompaniment texture with a focus on the hymn melody.

Incl uded in the Oxford Book of Ballads and ascribed to an anonymous 15th-century author, the tale of Joly Joly Wat the shepherd who offers the infant Christ his 'pipe, skirt, tarbox and scripe' is among the best-loved of traditional Christmas verses. Its musical reference offers an obvious attraction to composers, and in Bryan Kelly's new setting a sprightly ritornello embellished with trills is the musical counterpart to the young herdsman's musical instrument on which 'he made such joy.'

Written for Simon Williams and the Harrow Choral Society, Joly Joly Wat brings a fresh and lively note to seasonal choral concerts. The vocal writing is clear and straightforward, with occasional division of the sopranos, and an incisive and syncopated style that matches the shepherd-boy's haste to leave his flock and his faithful dog keeping his 'shepe fro ye corn' in order to visit the new-born Jesus.

This original Christmas offering is centered in the mystery of the Trinity. Somewhat unique for a seasonal selection, the music is traditional in style and filled with expressive hymnlike harmonies. A supportive accompaniment and an easy-to-ring handbell part build texture and depth before giving way to a stunning a cappella treatment. The anthem has an old soul that would be fully at home in a cathedral or a candlelight chapel. Graceful writing and grace-filled message!

Take a rollicking ride to Snowflake County-a place where Christmas celebrations have become so extravagant they threaten to over shadow the simplicity of Christmas'true meaning. It seems the only one who understands the secret of Jesus' simple birth is little Suzy Hallmark-but no one is listening. It will take a series of crazy mishaps during the community's annual seasonal program before the noise stops and everyone realizes that Christmas isn't about how brightly lights and decorations shine-it's about Jesus, the light of the world. Christy Semsen has once again combined her tuneful songs and clever dialogue with a strong spiritual theme in this delightful musical that is as contemporary as today's headlines. Daniel Semsen's sparkling accompaniment tracks feature musical styles that range from pop to rock to rap and polka. (There are even country line dancing angels and tap dancing wise men!) A full-color Teacher's Resource Kit and a performance IVD are available, providing all the production help you'll need. In addition to long-sleeve and short-sleeve T-shirts, you can also purchase Fun Paks for your choir to use in performance and keep as a souvenir. Your children and congregation are going to love their visit to Snowflake County, where the secret is out: Christ is the center of Christmas!
