Herald the joy of the Christmas season with this delightful medley by Mark Hayes. Opening with bell-like chords, it quickly segues into an energetic call-and-response as all of heaven and nature sings the news. Flowing quickly and easily through a sumptuous series of key changes, the medley incorporates phrases of beloved traditional carols, including “O Sanctissima†(the Sicilian “Mariner’s Hymnâ€) and “In dulci jubilo†(Good Christians All, Rejoice). The festive original music returns, rising to a brilliant finish as all exclaim, “The Lord is come!†For a multi-generation celebration, children’s and/or youth choirs can sing along. Larger choirs will rejoice in Mark’s festive orchestration for woodwinds, brass and percussion. Smaller choirs will love the smaller orchestration for 2 trumpets and handbells.

After ten years of praying, writing, and revising, James Chepponis has emerged with a mass setting that is musically spectacular, liturgically complete, and totally accessible! Whether resources are abundant or limited, whether you prefer a traditional or a contemporary sound, all parishes will feel comfortable with this mass!Jubilation Mass can easily be sung in simple form with only melody and accompaniment of choice (piano, organ, guitar, or a combination), with select pieces requiring a cantor and singing presider. Also, this mass need not be sung in its entirety, individual pieces are self-contained and can be used by themselves. For a fuller sound, or perfect for a special occasion, scoring is available for optional SATB choir, two trumpets, two trombones, timpani, flute/oboe, and handbells. Most importantly, no matter what the style used, congregation parts are wonderfully melodic and very easily learned, making this the perfect mass to teach your parish and use over and over again. Jubilation Mass includes Introductory Rites with opening song Sing for Joy, greeting, Litany of Praise for God's Mercy/Kyrie, Gloria, and prayer tone, Liturgy of the Word with scripture affirmation, a responsorial psalm, gospel acclamations, profession of faith, and general intercessions, Liturgy of the Eucharist with complete eucharistic prayer and Communion Rite including communion song Bread of the World, and the Concluding Rite with greeting, blessing, dismissal and recessional song Thanks Be to God..
