“Welcome All!†is a jovial, wassaillike piece that welcomes everyone “to our Christmas feastâ€: the prophets, Elizabeth, John the Baptist, Anna, Simeon—even Herod!—and oh, all of us too! The choral writing has a bell-like quality, especially the clusters at the final climax. Definitely fun, and no other Christmas song like it! .

The refrain’s melody in this selection sways gently and slowly, much as a parent might cradle a babe in her or his arms, the verses expand the usual textual elements of this ancient chant, punctuated by echoes of the refrain. At the end of each verse, a short interlude by the accompaniment adds to the restfulness one feels. It’s an easily learned piece of simple beauty. Included in the octavo are parts for flute, oboe, and cello as well as a reproducible congregational part.

English, Latin. Text Source: Matthew 2:16-18, Jeremiah 31:15. Text by Sylvia Dunstan. Scripture: Matthew 2:16–18, Jeremiah 31:15.
Sylvia Dunstan’s pointed, unsettling words resound: “God, hear the blood crying out from the ground.†They find balance in O’Brien’s sensitive music for two solo voices and choir. The “miserere nobis†underpinning throughout provides a beautiful, comforting mantra. A good piece to consider not only for Christmastide but also for the unborn or the funeral of a child.Â

Originally popularized by Chuck Berry in 1958, some say this was the very first rock 'n' roll Christmas song. Since then, it's been covered by everybody from Bryan Adams and Billy Idol to Kelly Clarkson, Conan O'Brien, and The Muppets! Kirby Shaw kicks off his arrangement with that characteristic guitar lick and builds from there. The optional SoundPax allows you to assemble your own rock band, or use the live-instrument SoundTrax CD.
