CHRIS TMAS IS IN THE HEART, from the Simply Word creative team of Kenna Turner West, Dale Mathews, and Steve W. Mauldin, is a brand new musical for the Christmas season, both accessible and appealing to any choir!

“For both the young and the young at heart, Christmas is truly a time like no other! Each year it offers us the opportunity to look deeper – beyond the stockings, the snowmen, and the tinsel – and it bids us to come and follow the star of Bethlehem as it leads us to the Light of the World. It invites us to bow our hearts as we draw near the manger to worship the newborn King.

You see, Christmas is all around us...and the fullness of joy that we find in the presence of Jesus can be ours not just for a day in December, but every day of the year. The peace we find in Christ doesn’t fade when the season departs…not if Christmas is truly in the heart!

< b>CHRISTMAS IS IN THE HEART captures the sights and sounds of Christmas that are all around us – the singing of carols, “decking the hall,” and the lighting of the Christmas tree! Featuring songs that take us back to the simple joys of childhood and share the timeless truths of that first Christmas night. CHRISTMAS IS IN THE HEART will bring the joys of Christmas alive in your hearts and in the halls of your church this Christmas season!

Jesus understood the strength of women, and the songs that have come together to be called One Heart are infused with Jesus' liberating vision for all. We hear three women's voices--a Hispanic American, an African American, and an Irish American--speaking from the heart, singing with one heart about women, equality, justice, and peace. Listen to the three voices of One Heart. You'll hear tomorrow singing, loud and clear.

Heart of Gold (A Greensleeves Fantasy) is a fresh take on a traditional favorite, drawing its name from the lyrics of the original secular song, “Greensleeves was my delight, Greensleeves was my heart of gold.” The piece starts with an introduction that flows into the familiar poignant melody, using beautiful and unexpected harmonies for a contemporary sound. The Second Violins and Viola have an opportunity to shine as well as they take over the theme with a wonderful swelling crescendo leading to the heart of the piece. A Solo Violin and Solo Cello restate the melody against the pizzicato accompaniment motif established in the beginning. The Optional Piano part adds magic and enhances the orchestration throughout.Performance Notes: Start the introduction very quietly. Exaggerate the dynamics throughout. Make the pizzicato nice and full while staying under the melody in the first violins. At measure 13, this countermelody in the first violins should be felt and not obscure the Greensleeves melody played by the second violins and violas, so make sure to balance it accordingly. At measure 20, exaggerate the crescendo and once forte is reached, maintain that intensity all the way to the decrescendo at measure 36. The solo violin line should be played with lots of expression and soar above the pizzicato figures. Pizzicato figures should be light and full, played closer to the fingerboard. At measure 45, the cello solo should be strong and connected singing high above the rest of the sections. Make sure the arco strings in this section do not overpower the cello line.
