Phill ip Keveren has crafted a magnificent, orchestra-driven carol medley that will showcase your choir and allow for plenty of congregational participation. Beginning with the poignant plea, O Come, O Come Emmanuel and ending with the celebratory O Come, Let Us Adore Him your choir and congregation will enjoy the rich tapestry of moods and textures woven by Keveren. You can perform the medley in its entirety (13:15), or consider using one of the two edit points in the piece to sing a shorter medley (10:27 or 7:43). Each vocal part is contained on a separate staff; however, the vocal writing is surprisingly accessible. Your orchestra will also find the instrumental writing to be substantial but quite reasonable in range and difficulty.

Ever wonder what it was like on that one starry night in Bethlehem long ago? That night when angels sang, shepherds rejoiced, and a young couple gazed at their precious, newborn baby boy. You may think you’ve heard it all before; that you know all there is to know about that night and that special baby’s birth. But until you’ve heard the story told by the animals who were there with Mary and Joseph, you just might be missing an important perspective on all that happened that first Christmas night! Now you can hear all about it in Raad Tidings We Bring…The Animals’ Christmas Story, new, from Christy and Daniel Semsen! The Animals’ Christmas Story begins with two revered “old-timers”… two celebrated “senior citizens” of the animal community in Bethlehem. Meet Ruthie and Eleanor; one, a wise old donkey, the other, a shall we say, long-in-the-tooth, camel, both reminiscing about the night when Christ was born. Our two old friends are joined throughout the musical by others who all came together to experience this miraculous birth. You’ll hear from birds on their way to Bethlehem for the census, meet theater mice and a thespian cat who entertain guests at the inn, and be introduced to a super-smart sheepdog and a super-chill flock of sheep- you know, those sheep who saw the angels on the hillside, outside of Bethlehem! Raad Tidings We Bring… The Animals’ Christmas Story, is a paws-i-tively amazing, meow-fully wonderful, hee-haw-fully marvelous re-telling of God’s love story…the story of a Savior, the story of redemption, the story of Christmas!
