Vocal Solo,Voice - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1147250 Composed by Australian composer, Rebecca Summers. Children,Christmas,Contemporary,Contest,Festival,Holiday. 3 pages. Rebecca Summers #747448. Published by Rebecca Summers (A0.1147250). A Christmas song with a difference! Written for soloist, choir and piano, this Christmas song celebrates the excitement felt on Christmas Day, the joy of family and creation of lasting memories and doesn't mention snow, Santa or religion once! Great for Christmas Concerts with whole-school performance of the choir part possible. The addition of drum kit makes this a real toe-tapping, crowd-pleaser. Originally written about North Arm, a town in Queensland, Australia. Full score, Piano only, Vocal only and Choir only parts available.

Vocal Solo,Voice - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.719769 Composed by Various. Arranged by Curtis Hanson. Sacred. 9 pages. Curtis Hanson #6069395. Published by Curtis Hanson (A0.719769). As years come and go, one increasingly recalls memories of earlier times. One of the most vivid and cherished memories I have while growing up is of Sunday mornings, going to church, sitting in the same pew each week with my grandmother, hearing and singing the beautiful hymns of our faith, and then returning home to the aroma of beef slowly roasting in the oven. My father directed the church choir, my mother and older brothers sang in the choir, so the wonderful music of our faith was instilled in me from an early age. This medley, and others in the series, are arrangements of many of my favorite hymns from those early years, many of which have been lost in more recent editions. For this series, I have elected to use the older texts as that is the way they were first written and the way I first learned them. There is a reverence and beauty in the language enriching the vocal tone which, I believe, is lost in contemporary, conversational, or politically correct syntax. I shudder to think of the day when a penitential phrase such as Hear thou my prayer, O Lord is rendered as Hey, God-dude, listen up - I'm talkin' atcha! I have also opted not to include the many wonderful hymns and carols which are associated with the major festivals of Christmas and Easter as those are commonly found in other collections. A caveat: I have no delusions, and I offer no pretenses, that these settings are great art. They are simply expressions of faith which I hope may bring a small measure of joy to other church musicians. The general concept of each medley is to present the hymn, often in its original chorale form, and then vary its harmony or texture. The hymns in this set include Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart, Just As I Am, and Savior, Again to Thy Dear Name. This collection of arrangements is also available for SATB voices and piano or piano solo.

I have also opted not to include the many wonderful hymns and carols which are associated with the major festivals of Christmas and Easter as those are commonly found in other collections. A caveat: I have no delusions, and I offer no pretenses, that these settings are great art. They are simply expressions of faith which I hope may bring a small measure of joy to other church musicians. The general concept of each medley is to present the hymn, often in its original chorale form, and then vary its harmony or texture. The hymns in this set include Make Me a Captive, Lord, Beneath the Cross of Jesus, and Abide with Me. This collection of arrangements is also available for SATB voices and piano or piano solo.
