The Holly and the Ivy

SATB Octavo w/ organ

A quiet urgency flows through this stunning offering for Holy Week. Jesus' statements from the cross are framed by plainspoken commentary that is insightful and direct. Use the organ part as written - the moments when it drops out or comes in make a dramatic difference. The final refrain unexpectedly blossoms into a triumphant statement of the core meaning of our Lord's sacrifice.

The Chorister's Prayer

Beati mundo corde

SATB Octavo w/organ

Here is a lighthearted, graceful new carol with a trick up its sleeve: It's in 7/8 meter. Once you have the knack of the uneven metrical division (easy to do, since it never varies), the music carries you joyfully through the Christmas story, with the voices supported by a nimble, dance-like organ accompaniment.

Rejoice and Be Merry

SAB Octavo w/organ

Sometimes the simplest words, melody, and harmonies come together to make magic. This Christmas Eve anthem is a lullaby, yet also a proclamation of Christ's coming - the music somehow both reverent and triumphant at the same time.

Carol of the Crib

Beginning with the familiar story of the angel Gabriel coming to Galilee to bring Mary the news that she will bear God’s son, the verses thereafter take the form of a conversation between Gabriel (Tenors and Basses) and Mary (Sopranos and Altos). The turning point comes at verse 5 when Mary repeats the words which the angel has just spoken but in the first person, indicating her willingness to accept God’s calling. For the final section of the piece, Mary, now represented by a solo soprano, communes directly with God through prayer. The metre changes from the folky 6/8 to a freer colla voce at which point the choir resumes its verse 1 role of narrator.

I Will Hold Him

A simple song that ponders the future of the babe in the manger, surrounded by shepherds and angels on the holy night. Easily learned harmonies are interspersed among generous unison passages in this quiet reflection on the Savior's birth.
