While By the Sheep Woodwind and Brass Ensemble

Flexible Instrumentation Ensemble

I was introduced to handchimes by a music teacher in the Czech Republic and loved them right away.  I went on to write this piece for three groups of children with handchimes.   A second version was added later with piano for a more “rocky” feel (optional).  The children where we taught in Family English Camp caught on to the music easily, and the Czech teacher and I collaborated in preparing the piece for the rest of the camp.  The results were enjoyable for all!

Crown Him With Many Crowns Flute and Oboe Duet

Flute/Oboe Duet

This children's spiritual was inspired by two grandchildren, ages 2 and 4
  as they sang for others.  The 4 year
  old recounted the essentials of Christmas while the 2 year old bounced up and
  down on the bed chanting "Jeez, Jeez,... "  The 2 year olds beginner words became the
  descant of "Jesus".  It is
  hoped that children will enjoy this song and with it, have an easy way to
  tell others the good news of Christmas.

This song, from Ps. 147, was written to help children understand what it
  is to say that God is great.  It does
  so using synonyms for the word great, which makes for new vocabulary and also
  makes for fun singing.  How fast can
  the children sing the chorus the second (or third) time through?

This lovely, simple melody was remembered from my childhood.  It is, in fact, just right for beginning musicians.    The four verses could be sung in unison, or verses two and three could be done by soloists or a small group with verses one and four being sung by the larger group. The handchimes require only three children, each playing two notes of a chord.
