From the dynamic team of David T. Clydesdale and Deborah Craig-Claar comes Let Heaven and Nature Sing!, a top ten collection of all-time favorite traditional Christmas carols that reaches beyond a presentation and invites the entire congregation to rejoice. A must for every church, this classic collection can be used throughout Advent - from Christmas pageants to worship services to candle-lit Christmas Eve services. Calling these carols traditional does not mean that they are ordinary... the masterful orchestrations and rich sounds of the Symphonia of London and Master's College Chorale make them fresh and new expressions of praise. Deborah Craig-Claar adds a whole new level of ministry to these songs with creative ideas and resource material including dramatic programming and staging suggestions right in the choral book. Let Heaven and Nature Sing! will inspire your musicians, and lift up the voices of the entire congregation into a soaring celebration of Christmas worship.

Tony Alonso’s first Christmas recording has much to offer. The selections include fresh new arrangements of many Christmas favorites plus original material by Alonso, John L. Bell, and Liam Lawton. There is also a real “chestnut†among the titles, which may have passed you by. “Child of Light,†by Dan Kantor (composer of GIA’s popular “Night of Silenceâ€), is a delightful quodlibet using the beloved tune greensleeves and featuring a lush string arrangement. This title was published in 1990 but has never appeared on a recorded collection. Other highlights include “From the Cradle to the Cross,†an original carol by Alonso set in a bluegrass style. This haunting text reminds us of the life that Jesus led and modeled for us all. The collection features two songs in Spanish: one a fresh arrangement of the traditional carol “AlegrÃa†and the other a Latin arrangement of “Ding Dong Merrily on High.†John Bell’s new text, “We Do Not Know,†will enlighten your perception of the timeless Christmas story, and Lawton’s soaring refrain found in “Noel, Noel†will stir your soul. Alonso, Bell, Kantor, Lawton—old songs, new songs—English and Español. This is a treasure!  .

This latest cantata collaboration by Mark Hayes and John Parker is an innovative presentation of the beloved Christmas story. The inspired music covers the dynamic spectrum from poignant and introspective prayers for God's mercy to angelic proclamations of God's majesty and glory. It is a unique blend of new Christmas anthems with favorite yuletide carols. The distinctive use of familiar Latin phrases in each selection serves as a common thread throughout the work and capitalizes on a current trend in many churches-reaching back to embrace ancient worship. The allusion to aspects of nature in each anthem underscores the overall theme and uniquely highlights the familiar progression of the Christmas story which includes the angels, shepherds, Mary and the Wise Men. The optional inclusion of congregation on familiar carols along with Audra Parker's fresh narration makes this a joyous Christmas worship experience for choir and congregation alike!
