This arrangement of the beloved carol includes the addition of an angelic
  trio with glorious "Alleluias." We celebrate the dawn of grace,
  as an optional orchestration with independent instrumental lines enhances the
  text. We remember the wonder and awe of that holy night.

Silent Night, Alleluia

SATB Octavo

This optional a cappella arrangement is based on the parable of the lost
  sheep. The choral composition employs text painting, and the pastoral scene
  enhanced by the use of moving voices, dynamics, and interesting chord
  progressions.

The Ninety and Nine

American poet Joyce Kilmers iconic poem Trees provides the basis for
  this text. The use of countermelodies enhances the melodic flow, and the
  melody conveys the beauty of Kilmer's text, ending with "Only God can
  make a tree."

Trees

SSA Octavo

A fun gospel song, with independent lines, two key changes, and lots of
  repetition. Many bluegrass groups have sung this as an audience participation
  piece, as it has an easy, catchy tune. The melody is sometimes doubled, and
  the choir should bring out the melody while other countermelodies are going
  on around it. Limited religious references make it suitable for public school
  concerts. Have fun with this old gospel song!

Where the Soul Never Dies

Voice Subcategory

The beloved carol for Christmas is arranged for treble voices, using
  countermelodies and a few unconventional harmonies. Original material is
  woven into the traditional carol to connect verses. The descant may be sung
  by a soloist or a small group. Enjoy this powerful invitation to adoration.

O Come, All Ye Faithful

Unison Octavo

The poem penned by Lt. Col. John McCrae, a physician, calls us to
  remember those who have given their lives for freedom. McCrae served in the
  Flanders region of Belgium in WWI, and wrote the poem after the loss of his
  close friend. McCrae noticed how poppies quickly grew around the graves of
  his fallen comrades. This original melody is accompanied by horn and piano.
  Text-painting is the source of the style.

In Flanders Fields

TTBB Octavo

As we see the baby in the manger, we contemplate how all the individual components contributed to the holy night of Christ's birth:  the Christmas star, the shepherd's face, the quiet stall, and the mother's face. We celebrate the joy of the holy birth as the angels and chorus sing "Gloria!" to the end.

Reflections of a Star

SAB Octavo

This arrangement may be sung a cappella, and is based on Newtons journey
  to grace. It emphasizes the theme Lead me home. A slave trader, he
  renounced trading after many years. In his later years, Newton encouraged a
  young William Wilberforce to stay in Parliament to garner support for
  abolishing the slave trade in England.
    
    
    
    The drone of home" in the bass and tenor voices enhances the journey.
  The choir passes through several keys before returning to the home key of F
  Major. The last verse is a celebration of homecoming, with an optional
  soloist.

Amazing Grace

The lyrics of Greg Funderburk are set to an Irish Melody, traditionally
  known as "The Parting Glass." The text describes a journey to
  grace, as the journeyman (soloist) is beckoned by the pealing of bells toward
  a place of worship where he is welcomed as family. The arms of fellowship
  create a miracle of love with kindred company, and a place becomes filled
  with grace. We find, we sing, and we share Godis blessing, grace, and
  peace. Keyboard and cello provide the accompaniment.

God's Blessing, Grace, and Peace

A fun gospel song, with independent lines, two key changes, and lots of
  repetition. Many bluegrass groups have sung this as an audience participation
  piece, as it has an easy, catchy tune. The melody is sometimes doubled, and
  the melody shines in the midst of the independent lines.  Limited religious terms and references make
  it suitable for public school choirs. Have fun with this old gospel song!

The text of this 2-Part original setting was penned by English playwright
  and poet Ben Jonson (1572-1637). He begins the poem by asking if the reader
  has noticed some of life's simple pleasures, then concludes by comparing the
  love of his life to all of the good, sweet, simple things he had brought to
  our minds. Text painting, imitation, and countermelodies enhance the poetry
  and the music.

Have You Seen But a White Lily Grow

Two-Part Octavo

This arrangement is based on the Irish folk song "The Parting
  Glass." It is a sort of blessing, as your audience begins their journey
  home. I gently rise, and softly call, Good-night, and joy be to you all.'
  A solo or small group may be used to introduce the melody, and an optional
  cello enhances the entire arrangement.

A Parting Song

Katia Madsen's lyrics celebrate "Caroline," as a young man is
  trying to woo her with his confidence and charm. It dances along in 6/8
  meter, filled with energy, unison singing, and imitation. We celebrate until
  the final "Caroline!"

Caroline

A guitar part is provided,but feel free to use other "C Instruments" with an Appalachian flavor: dulcimer, banjo, mandolin, cello. Dynamic flexibility and a pleasing tone are a "must" throughout. The B Section of each verse increases the tempo slightly (based on text). Celebrate the Saints!</p>

The Old Churchyard

The lyrics of Wanetta Hill celebrate her love for Pippa, their family
  dog. It is a joyful piece, and young singers will sing repeat the major scale
  a few times as they sing about a Sheepadoodle's fun day with children.

A Pippadoodle Day

It is written in ABA form, ending in a quiet reflection of holiness. This arrangement is appropriate for sacred or school choral use, and its memorable theme will be etched in the minds of all of your singers.
