CHRISTMAS IS IN THE HEART, from the Simply Word creative team of Kenna Turner West, Dale Mathews, and Steve W. Mauldin, is a brand new musical for the Christmas season, both accessible and appealing to any choir! “For both the young and the young at heart, Christmas is truly a time like no other! Each year it offers us the opportunity to look deeper – beyond the stockings, the snowmen, and the tinsel – and it bids us to come and follow the star of Bethlehem as it leads us to the Light of the World. It invites us to bow our hearts as we draw near the manger to worship the newborn King. You see, Christmas is all around us...and the fullness of joy that we find in the presence of Jesus can be ours not just for a day in December, but every day of the year. The peace we find in Christ doesn’t fade when the season departs…not if Christmas is truly in the heart!CHRISTMAS IS IN THE HEART captures the sights and sounds of Christmas that are all around us – the singing of carols, “decking the hall,†and the lighting of the Christmas tree! Featuring songs that take us back to the simple joys of childhood and share the timeless truths of that first Christmas night. CHRISTMAS IS IN THE HEART will bring the joys of Christmas alive in your hearts and in the halls of your church this Christmas season!

A festive and fresh holiday concert opener for beginning band that is sure to be a favorite for both performers and audiences. Good King Wenceslas is used as the basis for the work, crafted in a powerful and effective setting. A very creative and lyrical interlude of Jingle Bells serves as a beautiful musical moment before the piece ends as it began, powerfully festive. Easy to play and easy to put together, this wonderful selection is also appropriate for more advanced groups with limited rehearsal time. Be sure to include The Joys of Christmas in your next holiday concert!

The Five Lesser Joys of Mary begins with a conventional Nativity scene - the ox and the ass for warmth, the star, the Wise Men - to verses attributed by Warlock to one Daniel Lawrence Kelleher, editor of Christmas Carols (No. 18 in the second series of Augustan Books of English Poetry) where the anonymous verses were published.
The fourth stanza recounts Jesus 'Confounding the doctors, the poor little Child,' while the fifth carries us to Calvary and a singularly lame conclusion as Mary 'Saw Jesus droop over and lie very still, She thought of the good times they had long ago When He'd droop in her arms and she'd singhusheenlo.'
Strophically composed, with small variations, Warlock's tenderness seems generic.
