Christmas Joy - SATB

Silver Bells was a 1950 Livingston-Evans pop hit but surely the most famous of them all is Irving Berlin's White Christmas, the 1940 song for which its composer had high hopes the moment he completed it. Conceived as a nostalgic number, White Christmas was a slow starter but went on to become a huge success and, for many, the ultimate Christmas song.These arrangements lend themselves to being performed separately or in seamless succession for a Classic Christmas recital audiences will love. / Choeur Mixte (SATB) Et Piano

'Noël was a welcome addition to the Christmas list for decent standard choirs - Noël 2 adds even more to the repertoire in a handy volume... The main enticements are some fantastic new arrangements of old favourites, a number of works previously only available in single sheets (Whitacre's Lux Arumque among others) and some fantastic new surprises. Adrian Peacock's Venite, Gaudete is a wonderfully original and vibrant setting, Richard Rodney Bennet's I Wonder as I Wander is both reflective and effective, and there are plenty more. Some of the pieces here will challenge your choir, but there's a vast amount to get the Christmas inspiration flowing.

Par VAUGHAN WILLIAMS RALPH. Written for Vaughan William's choir in surrey, these are beautifully judged for amateur voices. The music is direct and sharply characterised. Originally with orchestra, they are equally suitable for performance within choral concerts or as church anthems, with either organ or piano accompaniment. / Niveau : Facile / Répertoire / SATB

Written for the King's Singers A Hymn To The Virgin won the 'A Carol for Christmas' competition run by the vocal sextet and Classic FM. Re-edited for SSATBB the two languages of the text are set in contrasting styles of solo lines and chordal harmony coming together at the end of each verse. A meditative work that would make an excellent concert ending.

Une chanson a été entendue à Noël a été écrit pour Gorseinon Youth Choir et première au Brangwyn Hall de Swansea le vendredi 18 Décembre 2009. Le morceau a été enregistré par les BBC Singers dans Cripplegate de St Giles, London le jeudi 17 Novembre 2011. Il a été diffusé sur les chants de la BBC Radio 3 pour le petit déjeuner le lundi 19 Décembre 2011.L'ouvrage s'ouvre sur un solo de soprano qui nous rappelle un solitaire aigus effectuer le premier couplet d'un chant de la congrégation, avec le choeur traditionnel offrant harmonie à quatre parties dans le deuxième couplet. Le troisième verset associe un élément de XVIe / XVIIe siècle fauxbourdon - la mélodie est chantée par le ténor - avec un effet décoratif, sans paroles descant fourni à la fois par la soprano et alto. Le dernier verset s'ouvre avec les sopranos proclamant 'Un enfant nous est né!' Ce sentiment est répété par chaque voix dans une célébration chorale, entrelacés avec des fils de la mélodie originale, jusqu'à ce que le travail arrive à une conclusion triomphale avec l'ensemble du choeur louant le Seigneur, Christ le Seigneur. / Choeur Mixte (SSATBB) A Cappella
