Hear these once and the tunes and lyrics will remain with you for a long time. One Is has become an instant success that unites the living, the unborn, the dead. Covenant Hymn is perfect for weddings and anniversaries. Now bespeaks our need for peace and justice. Four new psalm settings bring ancient words to life. Three inspired liturgical musicians combined their talents once again to create this hit.

The celebration of Christmas should begin with a joyous Noel!....a shout of joy!...a jubilant song of Christmas – pronouncing the birth of the newborn King…proclaiming the Good News that a Savior is born!

Acclaimed arrangers Jay Rouse, J. Daniel Smith, and David Wise partner to bring you this celebrated, new six-song Christmas choral collection, WE SING NOEL. Jay Rouse adeptly handles the arranging duties on “Adore” and “Noel,” the two new powerhouse Christmas worship songs from Chris Tomlin, along with an epic arrangement of “Sing Noel!”, the new Christmas anthem from Newsong. J. Daniel Smith has crafted two soaring, seasonal stunners with Matt Redman’s “His Name Shall Be” and Matthew West's “The Heart of Christmas.” David Wise rounds things out with a hauntingly beautiful refrain, this one also from Matt Redman, “How Far.”

Whether you present a simple Christmas concert, plan a massive Christmas production, or write and stage your own musical, the six songs in WE SING NOEL will each stake their claim for inclusion as you listen to this festive, worshipful and heroic Christmas palette showcasing the sounds and songs of the season.

The concerts and exhibits of the Cleveland Museum of Art were an important formative influence for me during my student days. So when the invitation came to create a new work celebrating this institution on its seventy-fifth anniversary, I was not only happy to accept, but knew immediately that I wanted to write a piece that would somehow relate specifically to the museum. I decided to make the work a reflection on a painting in the museum's collection: Zurbaran's The Holy House of Nazareth. My quartet is not program music in a narrative sense, but rather a kind of meditation that takes its tone from this painting's remarkable integration of intense affect, mysterious repose and secret geometry. Besides Zurbaran's painting, the piece is occupied with a purely musical object of contemplation: the hymn tune Picardy, best known with the text Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence. This tune permeates the harmonic and melodic life of the quartet, sometimes appearing in a very simple, straightforward fashion, but often hidden amidst more complex structures. I was attracted to the melody for its musical qualities, but later realized that the hymn's text also resonates with the mood of the painting; the words speak of a reverent awe, of cherubim with sleepless eye, and of the mystery of the Incarnate Word who must suffer: King of kings, yet born of Mary...
