Featuring three refrain text options—“Veni Jesu,†“Come, Lord Jesus†and “Maranathaâ€â€”as well as the familiar text of “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel,†this piece by Douglas Green would be a lovely addition to any choir’s Christmas repertoire. The piece begins with a unison tenor and bass line and then steadily adds parts until it reaches a full four-part texture. Handbells provide chords at the beginning of the piece and during the verses, but it can also be performed a cappella. For six handbells.

The book by Constantin Floros is an expanded new issue of his 1979 Mozart-Studien I. The collection of papers and essays from 1963 to 1978 published at that time has been augmented by several more recent studies. Whereas the earlier texts concern Mozart's overtures, operas, and symphonies, together with especially the stylistic levels of his opera music and church music in general, the more recent articles deal with topics such as merriment and melancholy, tragedy and comedy or cantabile qualities, including stage aesthetics or questions of reception as well. The collected works document the Greco-German author's lifelong engagement with Mozart's music.

Kathleen Demny has crafted a sure-to-please choral piece that boasts a compelling syncopated melody in the refrain with a convincing metrical change to express the words Maranatha, Lord Jesus, come to us. The equally energetic cantor's voices verses in the relative minor conclude with an SATB call: Veni, Emmanuel that leads us back to the refrain. Adding a strummed guitar with the keyboard part would nicely complement this delightful Advent song.

New from Rory Cooney comes a glorious collection of music for the Advent and Christmas seasons. Many of the selections in this collection use tunes gathered from the traditions of various European cultures. Rory arranges these beautiful melodies and adds his own evocative texts, creating nostalgic yet new expres- sions of the Christmas story. The jewel in this Christmas crown is surely Rory’s SAB arrangement of “In the Bleak Midwinter.†It begins gently, quoting the first stanza of the Christina R ossetti text, then branches out into Rory’s own moving exploration of Christ’s incarnation. The “Christmas Gloriaâ€â€” based on the familiar French carol “Angels We Have Heard on Highâ€â€”employs the text from the 2010 R evised Order of Mass. In this arrangement the third stanza of the prayer soars above the final refrain as an exhilarating soprano descant. Much of the newer music in this collection can be done a cappella. To enhance the texture, include the piano accompaniment, strings, and flute. Perfect for any choir large or small, the songs in Like No God We Had Imagined will add sparkle to your holiday liturgies. Contents: Friends in Christ, Rejoice, My Soul Gives Glory, The Advent Herald, Sing We Maranatha, In the Bleak Midwinter, Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day, Still, Still, Still, In the Stillness of the Night, Christmas Gloria, Psalm 96: Christmas Midnight, Song at the Manger, Carol of the Stranger, Lullaby, Little One, Rise Up, Shepherd, and Follow, I Saw Three Ships, Light in the Darkness.
