A lilting choral accompaniment evokes pizzicato sounds surrounding the tenor melody in verse one. The other verses are set more conventionally but still reflect the goals of our Christmas with The Singers series: that the audience will enjoy the famliarity of the carol but be enchanted by the creativity of the arrangement. Challenging, but masterful in how Matthew Culloton treats the ensemble as a self-sufficient choral idiom. Duration 2:30.

With a hauntingly beautiful original text, The Sunrise Will Come is the perfect piece to showcase lyrical delivery and phrasing. The song's minor key paired with the hopeful lyric creates a sense of forward leaning, satisfied at the close of the piece with a Picardy third. Interesting harmony, satisfying (yet accessible) divisi, a gorgeous a cappella section, and a stunning soprano highlight in the final moments of the piece set it apart, making it an excellent choice for an intermediate-advanced group's concert or festival selection.

The Gravity of Kindness is Howard Goodallâ??s stunning setting of Naomi Shihab Nyeâ??s poem Kindness, for SATB and piano with optional soprano solo. It was composed for the highly regarded Addison Singers, in memory of their long-standing member Cathy Bereznicki. Kindness is framed by two lullabies: the Mexican Arrorró mi niño and the well-known Coventry Carol, underpinned by the universal themes of unconditional love and the hope that kindness brings. The contemporary, reflective and uplifting style of the music makes this a versatile work: whilst ideal for Christmas concerts, it is equally suitable for performance at any time of the year.

Let us build a house is the closing hymn of Kim André Arnesen’s large-scale work, The Stranger. Instead of a typical majestic endingto a large work, Arnesen went for a quiet one with only an unaccompanied choir. As the composer comments, 'sometimes a message feelsstronger like that and makes us listen more carefully'. The text is from the hymn by Marty Haugen, which concludes 'Let us bring an end to fear and danger: All are welcome in this place.' A stillness and serenity pervades this short piece, suitable for intermediate choirs.

This is an SATB a cappella setting of this perennially favorite religious text (John 14: 15-17, King James Version). Commissioned by The Elders (independent global leaders working together for peace and human rights) as a parting gift to Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Although the presentation took place in 2013 the work did not receive its first performance until 2018, by Royal Birmingham Conservatoire Chamber Choir, conducted by Paul Spicer. Composed in predominantly homophonic style, and harmonically chromatic yet without extreme dissonance, this offering from a leading composer will be seized upon by choirs of intermediate standard and above.

This original song by Canadian songwriters Mark Murphy and Maureen Ennis, originally written for vocal trio and heard in various memorial occasions, has now been arranged by Dan Forrest, Jamie Hillman, and the composer for SATB choir as part of the Beckenhorst Concert Series. Highly effective for both high school choirs and community choirs, the gentle songwriter feel of the original is supported by a simple piano accompaniment and well-crafted choral lines. The result is a deeply-felt expression of grief and comfort: I'll sing for you because I need to, right now this is all I know; I'll sing so we will not forget you, I will sing you home - I will sing you home. (Accompaniment Track includes one bar of piano introduction to set tempo and pitch, and piano plays during a cappella sections and long note values to keep tempo clear.).

May be performed as a set as individual movements, suitable for worship or concert settings.School, Church, Community AdultCollegiateScripture reference: Psalms.

Kyle Pederson's gift for songwriting is on full display in this heartfelt prayer for peace. Folk and classical styles blend seamlessly as the choir both asks for shalom, then offers shalom to the listener, to friends and family, to those we don't know, and even to our enemies: ...heal us all that we may know the wholeness of your great shalom..
