Part-dominant Rehearsal CD for Messiah - Four Choruses for Christmas (45/1184H) Four magnificent choruses from one of the world's most often performed choral masterworks, Handel's Messiah, have been carefully scored for young voices in authentic arrangements that capture all of the excitement of the composer's original, while at the same time adding accessible editions of serious literature to the repertoire at this level. All of the selections are set in the same key, allowing for convenient programming when two or more choruses are performed in sequence. Also available, to aid in individual practice by singers, and in rehearsal, is a Part-dominant CD Set and an Accompaniment CD. Most importantly, we are delighted to make this music available in a budget-stretching reproducible format.

Many scripture passages foretell the coming of the Messiah, with perhaps the most well-known being the angel comforting the frightened shepherds on the hillside saying, “And this shall be a sign unto you...†This musical depiction recalls seven of those signs in a unique re-telling of the Christmas story, beginning with the prophecies of Isaiah through the blessing from Simeon in Luke, each providing a signpost for the arrival of the Christ Child. With familiar carols interspersed among the very melodic and stylistically diverse music of Larry Shackley, “And This Shall Be a Sign†will have a strong appeal for the congregations of both the traditional and blended worship service. And with both SATB and SAB editions being available (along with reproducible part-dominant CDs for each voicing), churches of virtually any size will be able to successfully present this work in a meaningful and uplifting way.
