There is a wealth of Christmas repertoire for choirs to choose from and sometimes it is difficult to select which arrangement you want of your traditional carols. It is refreshing when you get a selection which has a new version of a familiar carol plus two carols which you think you should know but donâ??t. This is the case with Joanna Gillâ??s three new carols. â??Sir Christèmasâ? a traditional British carol in the setting by William Mathias has been a popular choice for many years. Yet here is a refreshing new arrangement with the hint of sleigh bells and a choral texture where the melody is passed from voice to voice. The carol builds to a triumphant ending to highlight the fun and merry making to be had at Christmas. Then we have two new original carol settings: â??I heard the bells on Christmas dayâ? with words by the American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. It is presented with a swinging bell like texture and a catchy tune builds to a dramatic ending wishing peace on earth goodwill to men. â??Look to the Stableâ? is a new carol with words by Becca Beschizza a gentle lullaby to the new born baby Jesus praising this event and the Glory of God. This gentle melody is bound to become a favourite with both choirs and audiences.The three carols in this album are going to appeal to the singer with their simple but effective word setting along with the beautiful and well-crafted accompaniments. Furthermore they are going to appeal to the audience and will become a popular feature in many Christmas carol services around the world.

Par ARTHUR GEORGE. I Sing of a Maiden is a Middle English lyric Poem in whose setting George Arthur creates a great spatial and harmonic effect. With Susanni, Arthur has written a cheerful and spritely setting of this old German song that begins with a trumpet-like fanfare. Balulalow is a very gentle and tranquil setting in which the text is shared among all four parts, all of which are at some point the focal point. Of a Maiden / Susanni / Balulalow: Three traditional carols for mixed choir (SATB) a cappella in new modern settings, suitable for church or concert performance. There are contrasts in all three pieces of choral texture, giving every voice part a chance to shine at some point. Suitable for all choirs. / Date parution : 2022-05-31/ Recueil / Choeur Mixte SATB a Cappella

These lyrical and atmospheric carols for the Christmas season offer choirs the chance of exploring treasures from one of the most musical of nations. The Welsh texts are accompanied by new English singing translations. All five carols are arranged for SATB chorus with Organ (or Piano) accompaniment.

The first two carols of the set are Bennett’s own creations a study in contrasts. The first is a classic carol in common time with syncopation and a divisi Chorus. The second is the engaging African Crib Carol in 3+3+2/8 timeagain with divisi Chorus. The third is a lilting arrangement of a traditional Somerset carol. Separately or as a suite these three carols make a fine addition to seasonal school programming.F Roy Bennett was a respected musiceducator and author of the 20th century who wrote many books of music theory and history that are highly prized by primary and secondary school music teachers. As a composer he was a gifted writer of words and music for schoolchoirs as in this set of three carols.

This interesting new take on the classic carol Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day by Swiss composer Carl Rütti formed one-third of a trio of carols that reinvigorated the old favourites with fresh and interesting musical elements. The Three Carols medley was initiated in 1996 with My Dancing Day?forming the Presto section. Carl Rütti's work blends the English choral tradition with other genres such as jazz and blues. His work defies expectations and as such this would make a great piece to perform for choirs who are perhaps tired of the traditional Christmas choral works and want to inject some freshmusical vigour into their festive repertoire. In the September 2015 issue of Organists' Review Michael Overbury writes that this piece is 'immediately accessible with typically spicy chromatic inflections.'

He was awarded an honorary Doctorate by the University of Southampton in 2002 in recognition of his Services to Music. 'Noël was a welcome addition to the Christmas list for decent standard choirs - Noël 2 adds even more to the repertoire in a handy volume... The main enticements are some fantastic new arrangements of old favourites, a number of works previously only available in single sheets (Whitacre's Lux Arumque among others) and some fantastic new surprises. Adrian Peacock's Venite, Gaudete is a wonderfully original and vibrant setting, Richard Rodney Bennet's I Wonder as I Wander is both reflective and effective, and there are plenty more. Some of the pieces here will challenge your choir, but there's a vast amount to get the Christmas inspiration flowing.
