UPC: 785147717706. English, Latin. Text source: Isaiah 9:6, Latin Vulgate, alt.; Translation: Jane Hettrick. Scripture: Isaiah 9:6.
The text, Isaiah 9:6, is found as the offertory for Christmas in the Roman Missal. The music is pure classical period—think Haydn, to whom this piece, incidentally, has been wrongly attributed. Scored for organ and choir, with three strings and two trombones, it includes both Latin and English texts. SATB. GIA is pleased to offer this edited and translated version of the Christmas offertory Parvulus filius by Franz Schneider. Based on research from the Melk archive of the Benedictine monastery in Lower Austria, Jane Hettrick has prepared a fantastic edition of this little-known historical gem. The text is provided in both Latin and English, and a continuo of two violins, cello, and two trombones (which double the alto and tenor voices) is also available. Editorial slurs and articulations are also provided.

An interesting Christmas piece from the African-American series. It begins as a quiet lullaby in G-flat major and gradually goes into a brief triumph praise section in E major. Then back again to the quiet G-flat lullaby.

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.
