Kathie Hill has done Christmas forward, and now, backwards! Instead of ending with the nativity, Christmas in Reverse starts at the manger, then rewinds to explain the significance of the events leading to the first Christmas. Teaming with co-writer Melody Morris (Fish Tales, Promise U, Christmas SOCCER Team) Kathie provides a wealth of musical settings and simple narrations for this meaty musical. And long before the nativity characters return to the manger, you will be touched (for the first or umpteenth time) by the significance of Jesus' birth. So if you think you've chosen your children's musical for this year, it's time to rewind and take a look at Christmas in Reverse. Ages: 2nd - 8th grades Speaking Parts: minimum 5 children / 3 - 4 Adults or children.

This setting of a 17th century English poem proclaims the wonder of Christmas and the oneness of all things. While the opening two stanzas feature broad and expansive phrases over an arpeggiated accompaniment, the work's emotional core is found in the contrasting section: “Welcome all wonders in one sight/Summer in winter, day in night” before the final recapitulation of the opening strains. Available separately: SATB, SAB, SSA. Duration: ca. 3:20.

John Rutter (b.1945) is one of England's best known composers of choral literature. While his choral works, including Te Deum, Magnificat, and Requiem, are the most familiar, he has also written numerous instrumental works. Rutter composed the Nativity Carol for SATB chorus and organ in 1963, and it was published in 1967 as part of a collection entitled Carols for Two Choirs. Although the title suggests a seasonal work, its musical richness lends itself favorably for performance at any time of the year.
