Canticles in Candlelight is a musical service of illumination that gradually fills the sanctuary or concert hall with music and light. With Scripture, narration, carols and candles, this compelling cantata tells the treasured story of Christ's birth. Filled with variety yet rooted in a traditional music vernacular, there are tasteful classical references in the arrangements as well as opportunities for congregational singing. From the hushed whisper of the “Candlelight Processional” to the festive arrangements of some of our most beloved carols, this work has something for everyone. An optional quiet ending is offered for churches wanting a more devotional closing.

Includes: Prologue; Processional; Prepare and Celebrate; Advent Longing; Come, Long-Expected Jesus; Awake! Arise! Rejoice!; Carols of Joy and Hope; Joy to the World; A Christmas Madrigal; Turn Your Heart to Christmas; A Festive Christmas Flourish; Silent Night, Holy Night.

The twelve pieces in A Festive Christmas have been arranged for various wind instruments - providing that brilliant sheen, so apt at Christmas time. The pieces can be performed with organ or piano accompaniment. Jan and Jacob de Haan looked at many different sources for their inspiration: three pieces were chosen from Handel's oratorios, as well as traditional Christmas carols, and two Christmas medleys. Every holiday concert will benefit from that special something these dazzling carols provide.

Het gloedvolle geluid van blaasinstrumenten past zonder meer perfect in de kersttijd. De twaalf werken uit deze klassieke kerstmuziekverzameling zijn voor verschillende instrumenten gearrangeerd. Ze zijn naar wens met piano of orgel uit voeren. Debegeleiding staat ook op de bijgevoegde cd voor het geval er geen pianist of organist voorhanden is.
