Add the optional percussion instruments for extra sparkle.

Navidad Noel

Unison/Two-Part Octavo opt. Percussion

Simple and beautifully straightforward, this arrangement of the traditional carol includes everything a young choir needs for success. The vocal line is set in a perfect range for children's voices, and the addition of a descant on the last verse creates opportunities for part-singing. Use the German text on the first verse to teach about the song's origins.

Silent Night

Celebrating the birth of Jesus, this artfully crafted piece features an enchanting melody and a short, simple descant written especially for older elementary choirs. Both of the anthem's verses feature text from the Christmas carol The First Noel. An optional drum part also enhances the joyful essence of the piece.

Noel, Noel

Augsburg Publishing

Here is a charming setting of a Cuban Christmas carol found in the worship book Libro de Liturgia y Cantico, perfect for mixed adult ensembles or children and youth choirs. The text encourages us to bring to Jesus the riches from our own lives, whether it be flowers, sugar, or other fruits of our labors.

Poinsettia Carol

Celebrating Grace, Inc

This fun, energetic piece for Christmas will have you smiling as the calm, silent night quickly changes when the baby cries! The syncopated contemporary melody gives way to a catchy chorus that includes options for two-part choirs. The piece concludes with "Glorias" that diminish in dynamics as though fading away into the distance.

Then the Baby Cried

Growing in Grace

An original text and melody join with a popular Christmas spiritual in this easily learned rhythmic piece. After singing the traditional spiritual, the two melodies join as partner songs and the two texts unite. A teacher resource featuring song teaching steps and colorful classroom visuals is available separately.

Come to the Manger

Heritage Music Press

Limited ranges, repeated sections, and creative choral arranging ensure success with this Victor Johnson favorite. This longtime bestseller features percussion parts for sticks, shaker, bongo or African drums, triangle, and tambourine, which lend an exciting rhythmic flavor.

African Noel

Lorenz Corporation

A wonderful candle-lighting song for young voices! "Be a candle of hope, be a candle of light, a beacon of truth in a dark, hopeless night. Share the light with a friend and watch the flame grow. The more light we give, the more love we'll know..." This will be especially effective at Christmas or at any time of year as a closing number.

Be a Candle of Hope

The beautiful, haunting melody of this choral standard sounds full and rich in this arrangement for ensembles of any size. The addition of the orchestration will truly elevate this piece!

Do You Hear What I Hear?

This traditional English folk song offers a charming, childlike depiction of the Nativity (also appropriate for Epiphany). While the piece can be sung as written with vocal harmonies on verses two and three, it may also be presented as a unison anthem with instrumental doubling options in place of the vocal harmonies. The lilting triple meter of the keyboard accompaniment works equally well for both piano and organ.

How Far Is It to Bethlehem?

Two-Part Octavo w/ Solo Instruments I & II in C

A mysterious, lyrical retelling of the Magi's visit to the Christ child, this anthem can be successfully sung by an early-intermediate treble choir or a mixed choir. Helpful performance suggestions are included for mixed ensembles (SATB or SAB). The lush piano accompaniment sets a haunting tone, punctuated by finger cymbals. Ideal for Christmas pageants and especially useful during Epiphany.

Noble Magi
