Silen t Midwinter’s Noel is a fantasia on three traditional Christmas tunes. The introduction of the piece, an Adagietto, alternates between melodic statements of In The Bleak Midwinter and Silent Night. The second main section of the piece, an Allegro, primarily juxtaposes The First Noel and Silent Night.The tempo markings throughout the score are mostly suggestions. The conductor may choose to deviate within five to ten clicks in either direction on their metronome. During the Adagietto, the conductor may also choose to draw out harmonic cadences for increased tension and resolution.The piece is scored in Eb and F major to allow younger performers to achieve excellent intonation. Performers should strive to produce characteristic sounds, especially when playing melodic statements. The tunes within this piece are all carols, and should be played as such. The conductor may choose to teach the performers how to sing the carols for added educational value. Lyrics for the carols are included below:Silent NightSilent night! Holy night!All is calm, all is brightRound yon virgin mother and child!Holy infant, so tender and mild,Sleep in heavenly peace!Sleep in heavenly peace!In the Bleak MidwinterIn the bleak midwinterfrosty wind made moan,earth stood hard as iron,water like a stone:snow had fallen,snow on snow, snow on snow,in the bleak midwinter,long ago.The First NoelThe First Noel the angel did sayWas to certain poor shepherdsin fields as they lay;In fields as they lay, keeping their sheep,On a cold winter's night that was so deep.Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,Born is the King of Israel.

The celebration of Christmas should begin with a joyous Noel!....a shout of joy!...a jubilant song of Christmas – pronouncing the birth of the newborn King…proclaiming the Good News that a Savior is born!

Acclaimed arrangers Jay Rouse, J. Daniel Smith, and David Wise partner to bring you this celebrated, new six-song Christmas choral collection, WE SING NOEL. Jay Rouse adeptly handles the arranging duties on “Adore” and “Noel,” the two new powerhouse Christmas worship songs from Chris Tomlin, along with an epic arrangement of “Sing Noel!”, the new Christmas anthem from Newsong. J. Daniel Smith has crafted two soaring, seasonal stunners with Matt Redman’s “His Name Shall Be” and Matthew West's “The Heart of Christmas.” David Wise rounds things out with a hauntingly beautiful refrain, this one also from Matt Redman, “How Far.”

Whether you present a simple Christmas concert, plan a massive Christmas production, or write and stage your own musical, the six songs in WE SING NOEL will each stake their claim for inclusion as you listen to this festive, worshipful and heroic Christmas palette showcasing the sounds and songs of the season.
