Christmas Musical
This Christmas cantata is a faithful retelling of the Christmas story, the gospel, in song and narration, and a wonderful mixture of the new and the old, the traditional and the freshness of the contemporary. The narrations are deep and insightful, demanding much passion and heartfelt emotion. The choir will enjoy these choral arrangements, including one of Jack Schrader's top-selling pieces, Mary, Did You Know? The work makes a strong impact when done with simply choir, piano, and narration; however, full orchestrations are available. Also, the narrations are perfect to suggest the inclusion of costumed actors creating tableaux of the various scenes, so, the work may be fully staged or as simply presented as necessary. Go Tell It! has moments of quiet worship and reflection, as well as the exuberant times of joy and celebration. The congregation is frequently involved, being asked to sing on four occasions, which leads to a satisfying experience for all who participate. Performance time is approximately 39 minutes.

The Orchestration contains a full Conductor's Score and parts for: Piano/Rhythm, Bass, Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Trumpet I, II & III, Horns I & II, E-Flat Alto Sax, Trombones I, II (III), Tuba, Percussion, Timpani, Harp, Violins, Violas, Cellos, Basses.

You’ve got to love it when Stephen Bulla goes Gospel! Your musicians surely will! The slow introductory section sets up the audience for a rousing good time when the band suddenly lets rip with hand-clapping up-tempo Gospel sounds. Rhythmic and filled with amazingly creative harmonic ideas, this superb arrangement takes O Come Emmanuel, Adeste Fidelis, and Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus places that you probably never imagined they could go. Conductors seeking high-quality new and entertaining literature for the Christmas concert have come to the right place. Definitely NOT the “same old” Christmas arrangement!

Drie absolute kerstklassiekers in een gospeljasje: O Come Emmanuel, Adeste Fidelis (Komt allen tezamen) en het Hallelujah Chorus uit Händel’s Messiah. De langzame introductie bereidt het publiekvoor op wat komen gaat, waarna het orkest plotseling losbarst met uptempo gospelklanken. Levendige ritmes en creatieve harmonische ideeën maken dit een bijzonder en aanstekelijk arrangement voor uw eerstvolgende kerstconcert.

Großartige Effekte! Das Publikum wird nach einer ruhigen Einleitung ganz plötzlich von schnellen Gospelklängen geweckt und zum Mitklatschen animiert. Rhythmisch und voll kreativer harmonischer Ideen sind in diesem superben Arrangement die Lieder O Come Emmanuel, Adeste Fidelis (Herbei, o ihr Gläubigen) und Händels Hallelujah Chorus im Gospel-Stil zu erkennen. Unterhaltsame Weihnachtsmusik auf höchstem Niveau!
