Let your PreK-2 youngsters shine this Christmas! LITTLE LAMBS IN BETHLEHEM A Christmas Musical For Very Young Voices by Karl Hitzemann “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” What an incredible night! The shepherds, watching their flocks by night, have just been visited by an angel telling them of wonderful news in Bethlehem. “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about,” they say, and off they go to meet the newborn King. But oh no, a group of little lambs had wandered off while this was happening, and when they return, they find that no one is there. Where did everyone go? Why did they leave so suddenly? What will they do?? The little lambs (named Billy, Bobby, Bahbra, Becky, Ben, and... Helen) are alone, lost, and afraid. However, they also sense that something wonderful must be happening. They can feel it. And that big bright star in the East just has to be leading them somewhere. So, off they go, in search of their shepherds and flock. Along the way, they will discover just how important this night really is. They will find their way to a very special manger in Bethlehem. Little Lambs In Bethlehem delivers the message of Christ’s birth in the most humble and innocent of ways. It’s light and simple and even a little silly at times (whenever the lambs speak, they get to start each sentence with a “Bah”). But the message is pure and very powerful. It will be equally meaningful to your congregation or audience and your performers. The simple script and short, easy-to-remember songs are specially written for young children to learn and sing. Time and budget-saving ideas for settings, costumes, and props are also provided to help enhance your production. Though the program is brief – approximately 15 minutes – the heartfelt message will last a lifetime. The Director’s Handbook comes with everything you will need for a successful production, including a reproducible program cover and poster and a well-thought-out set of staging suggestions. And while there are reproducible Singer’s Parts included in the handbook, we also provide reasonably priced, pre-printed Singer’s Editions to save time. The five songs include: The Newborn King, A Little Prayer, We Will Find Our Way, O Little Town Of Bethlehem, and Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice! Be sure to check our web site for extensive sound excerpts from the entire musical.

In A High Quality Octavo Format We often get requests to have some of our tunes released as octavos because many teachers prefer to use them with their choirs. While many of our tunes are available as Singles Reproducible Kits, octavos save you the time spent copying and binding, and they are in the octavo size used for most choral music. As you would expect, there are fully orchestrated Performance/Accompaniment recordings for every song. Note: Songs marked with an * are also available as Singles Reproducible Kits. GoldenRuleMusic.com OF ORIENT ARE adapted/arr. Teresa Jennings Based on one of the most popular and familiar carols of all time, “Of Orient Are” is a bit different – not your grandma’s “We Three Kings”! Fun to learn and fun to perform, it should keep your singers on their toes. Though the arrangement is written with 3-part mixed voicing, allowing older, changing, and changed voices to shine, it could also be used as a 2-part piece – still challenging and exciting, but quite usable with smaller or more limited choirs. Estimated release date: October 15, 2018 CH-0039G Of Orient Are - 3-Part Mixed (opt. 2-Part) Choral (min. of 5) .... 1.95 CH-0040 2-Part CH-0039DG Of Orient Are - MasterTracks P/A CD ...... 19.95 While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks WHILE SHEPHERDS WATCHED THEIR FLOCKS adapted/arr. Karl Hitzemann Our 2-part arrangement includes three verses with 8-bar interludes between each verse. It’s an ideal first 2-part opportunity for a young choir, and it lets even more experienced choirs sound great. Use the orchestral recording or play the included piano accompaniment. Either way, this song will have a great impact.

adapted/arranged by CH-0040G While Shepherds Watched... - 2-Part Choral (minimum of 5) ...... 1.95 by KarlMike Hitzemann Wilson CH-0040DG While Shepherds Watched... - MasterTracks P/A CD...... 19.95 MasterTracks P/A CD also available HALLELUJAH!* adapted/arr. Paul Jennings There’s a real thrill when singing this great work from Handel’s Messiah with a full orchestra – the power, the glory. It will send chills up your spine. With a new setting of this classic especially developed for young choirs, it is in a lower key and is arranged for two treble voices. It runs about four minutes, with the optional prologue. CH-0026G Hallelujah! - 2-Part Choral (minimum of 5)...... 1.95 CH-0026DG Hallelujah! - MasterTracks P/A CD...... 19.95 CH-0026DPG Hallelujah! - Downloadable Score & Instrumental Parts (opt.).. 29.95 LO, HOW A ROSE E’ER BLOOMING arr. Teresa Jennings Gentle and chorale-like, this beautiful carol is captured in a very special 2-part arrangement by Teresa Jennings. While the setting sounds great with just piano, the recorded tracks feature a clean, clear brass ensemble that provides a perfect accompaniment. The several provided tracks include full and accompaniment versions with brass and just piano. CH-0014G Lo, How A Rose E’er Blooming - 2-Part Choral (minimum of 5) ... 1.95 CH-0014DG Lo, How A Rose E’er Blooming - MasterTracks P/A CD...... 19.95 O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL* arr. Teresa Jennings In this powerful arrangement, Teresa Jennings has created a work that can serve equally well as an opener or a finale for your Christmas programs. It can be performed in unison, two, or three parts, and even has an optional solo soprano descant part. CH-0013G O Come All Ye Faithful - 3-Part Mixed Choral (minimum of 5) .... 1.95 CH-0013DG O Come All Ye Faithful - MasterTracks P/A CD ...... 19.95 RISE UP, SHEPHERD, AND FOLLOW arr. Teresa Jennings This beautiful old Christmas spiritual has always been a favorite, so it was a work of love for Teresa Jennings, who has produced a striking new arrangement for your choir. It works great as a 3-part mixed setting, with the third part working well for changed or changing boys’ voices, as well as for girls with a nice lower range. And because it is an arrangement with broad interest even for younger choirs, Teresa has also adapted it into a very nice 2-part setting that also works with the recorded instrumental tracks. CH-0006G Rise Up, Shepherd, And Follow - 2-Part Choral (minimum of 5) ... 1.95 CH-0007G Rise Up, Shepherd... - 3-Part Mixed Choral (minimum of 5) ...... 1.95 CH-0006DG Rise Up, Shepherd, And Follow - MasterTracks P/A CD...... 19.95 SING FOR JOY!* by Mike Wilson This song was designed to be a huge Christmas piece, yet without specific reference to Christmas. A regal horn section invites your attention with heralding trumpets and a full complement of brass, winds, strings, and percussion that keeps up the enthusiasm throughout. There are three vocal parts (parts 2 and 3 are optional) with part 3 written in the bass clef for your lower, changing, or changed voices. CH-0027G Sing For Joy! - 3-Part Mixed Choral (minimum of 5) ...... 1.95 CH-0027DG Sing For Joy! - MasterTracks P/A CD...... 19.95 3 GoldenRulePagesF2018.qxp_Layout 1 8/17/18 2:24 PM Page 5

STILL, STILL, STILL arr. Teresa Jennings “Still, still, still. He sleeps this night so chill.” This beloved, tender German carol has been around for many years. It works great as a 3-part mixed setting, with the third part working well for changed or changing boys’ voices as well as for girls with a nice lower range. CH-0023G Still, Still, Still - 3-Part Mixed Choral (minimum of 5) ...... 1.95 CH-0023DG Still, Still, Still - MasterTracks P/A CD ...... 19.95 DONA NOBIS PACEM* arr. Teresa Jennings This song of peace has all kinds of positives: it’s seasonal or not seasonal, secular or sacred, it can complement any program, the subject is peace, and it’s not difficult. Though this arrangement is a 3-part partner song, each part is simple and repetitive. If you’ve been looking for a way to showcase some head voice ability, part 3 will do the job. CH-0015G Dona Nobis Pacem - 3-Part/Partner Choral (minimum of 5) ...... 1.95 CH-0015DG Dona Nobis Pacem - MasterTracks P/A CD...... 19.95 CH-0015BPG Dona Nobis Pacem - Concert Band Pack (opt.) ...... 45.00 GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN arr. Teresa Jennings This superb one-of-a-kind arrangement has the power to inspire all who hear it. Progressing from slow and beautiful to mid-tempo gospel style to an amazing a cappella section, back to mid-tempo gospel style, and then into a full, hand-clapping, joyous up-tempo gospel ending, it practically guarantees listeners will be compelled to get to their feet. CH-0022G Go Tell... - Solo with 2-part/3-part (opt.) Choral (minimum of 5) .. 2.35 CH-0022DG Go Tell It On The Mountain - MasterTracks P/A CD...... 19.95 WE SING GLORIA!* by Mike Wilson Add a piece with Latin to your repertoire in the classical choral style with “We Sing Gloria!” Other than the words “we sing,” the entire piece is in Latin, so a legitimate choral approach should be taken for pronunciation. CH-0017G We Sing Gloria! - Unison/2-Part Choral (minimum of 5) ...... 1.95 CH-0017DG We Sing Gloria! - MasterTracks P/A CD ...... 19.95 A SONG OF PEACE* by Teresa Jennings Teresa’s beautiful song is strong programming any time of year, whether for holiday performances or for any time you want expressive music. The message is sweet and simple, yet so profound. A little child wishes for a song that would fill the world with peace. A miracle. Beginning with a solo, transitioning to unison and 2-part, and then returning to a solo, this song has great impact. CH-0020G A Song Of Peace - 2-Part Choral (minimum of 5) ...... 1.95 CH-0020DG A Song Of Peace - MasterTracks P/A CD...... 19.95 BABE OF BETHLEHEM arr. Teresa Jennings Often presented as a more robust piece, Teresa’s arrangement of this old folk carol is gentle and easy with a poignant, almost haunting style. The beautiful 3-part mixed setting has a third part that works well for your singers with lower, changing, or changed voices. CH-0016G Babe Of Bethlehem - 3-Part Mixed Choral (minimum of 5) ...... 1.95 CH-0016DG Babe Of Bethlehem - MasterTracks P/A CD ...... 19.95 ALLELUIA, HODIE ALLELUIA by Mike Wilson Here is an energetic Christmas selection for your older singers. The text is all Latin and we’ve set this in a 3-part voicing with part 3 being accessible to your lower, changing, and changed voices. CH-0034G Alleluia, Hodie Alleluia - 3-Part Mixed Choral (minimum of 5)... 1.95 CH-0034DG Alleluia, Hodie Alleluia - MasterTracks P/A CD ...... 19.95 O COME, O COME, EMMANUEL arr. Teresa Jennings In this unique 2-part arrangement, Teresa Jennings contrasts the melody in part 1 with a rhythmic, contemporary counterpoint in part 2. Real magic comes from a third line played by an alto flute. The effect is striking and must be heard to appreciate it, so be sure to listen to the excerpt on our web site. CH-0029G O Come, O Come, Emmanuel - 2-part Choral (minimum of 5) .... 1.95 CH-0029DG O Come, O Come, Emmanuel - MasterTracks P/A CD...... 19.95 ONCE IN ROYAL DAVID’S CITY arr. Karl Hitzemann This new arrangement is a beautiful and lyrical treatment of this old classic hymn. It works great as a 3-part mixed setting, with the third part working well for changed or changing boys’ voices, or for girls with a nice lower range. CH-0030G Once In Royal... - 3-Part Mixed Choral (minimum of 5)...... 1.95 CH-0030DG Once In Royal David’s City - MasterTracks P/A CD...... 19.95 JOSEPH DEAREST, JOSEPH MINE arr. Karl Hitzemann This carol dates back to the 16th century in Germany. It was used in a Mystery Play as a lullaby sung by the Virgin Mary.

CH-0032G Joseph Dearest, Joseph Mine - 2-Part Choral (minimum of 5) ...... 1.95 CH-0032DG Joseph Dearest, Joseph Mine - MasterTracks P/A CD ...... 19.95 4 GoldenRulePagesF2018.qxp_Layout 1 8/17/18 2:24 PM Page 6

THE NAVY HYMN (Eternal Father, Strong to Save) arr. Karl Hitzemann “Eternal Father, Strong to Save” has been around for over 150 years. Written by John B. Dykes and William Whiting, it became widely known as “The Navy Hymn” because of its inclusion at many services and ceremonies at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. Our 3-part mixed arrangement features a full orchestra, but you could also do a very moving live performance with the provided piano accompaniment. CH-0037G The Navy Hymn - 3-Part Mixed Choral (minimum of 5)...... 1.95 CH-0037DG The Navy Hymn - MasterTracks P/A CD...... 19.95 KYRIE ELEISON by Mike Wilson There have been many arrangements and settings created for the text “Kyrie Eleison.” Here is a 3-part (SSA) version for your older choirs. Acoustic instruments with a string section provide a very tranquil and fluid bed for your singers who, likewise, should focus on a velvety, beautiful blend, listening to each other without sticking out. CH-0036G Kyrie Eleison - SSA Choral (minimum of 5)...... 1.95 CH-0036DG Kyrie Eleison - MasterTracks P/A CD ...... 19.95 DEEP RIVER arr. Karl Hitzemann The first known publication of this spiritual dates back to 1876. In 1917, African American composer and singer Harry T. Burleigh, a student and friend of Antonin Dvorak, created a very popular version of the song, and it has since become one of the best-known and best-loved spirituals of our time. Our setting is a traditional 3-part mixed arrangement, with two treble parts and a part in the bass clef. CH-0033G Deep River - 3-Part Mixed Choral (minimum of 5)...... 1.95 CH-0033DG Deep River - MasterTracks P/A CD ...... 19.95 I’M BOUND TO LEAVE THIS PLACE by Mike Wilson “I’m Bound To Leave This Place” is an exquisitely beautiful and poetic piece that speaks of a sojourner’s quest to know and be known by another before leaving the confines of this life. This is a 3-part arrangement (SSA), but could easily be done as a unison piece if you so choose. This song provides an opportunity for practicing dynamics and has an accessible mixed meter. CH-0035G I’m Bound To Leave This Place - SSA Choral (minimum of 5)..... 1.95 CH-0035DG I’m Bound To Leave This Place - MasterTracks P/A CD ...... 19.95 YONDER COME DAY adapted/arr. Paul Jennings This is a great spiritual from the Georgia Sea Islands that combines a traditional concert approach, opening with an evocative orchestral prelude, leading to building voices over hand claps. It continues to build into a joyous gospel shuffle with a powerful instrumental background. This is also a wonderful song for African American History Month. CH-0028G Yonder Come Day - 3-Part Mixed Choral (minimum of 5) ...... 1.95 CH-0028DG Yonder Come Day - MasterTracks P/A CD ...... 19.95 FREE LIKE ME* by Teresa Jennings If you’re looking for a truly majestic, patriotic piece to honor your veterans, heroes, or any other patriots in your community, this tune is perfect. Despite its length and seeming complexity, it is actually very simple. The melody of the verses and choruses repeat almost exactly. The song uses a classic building format – starting gently, then gradually building to full orchestra. A color guard or flag bearers could enter during the introduction to add drama to the piece. CH-0025G Free Like Me - 3-Part Mixed Choral (minimum of 5) ...... 1.95 CH-0025DG Free Like Me - MasterTracks P/A CD ...... 19.95 THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER arr.

We also have a simpler, unison version of “The Star-Spangled Banner” (in the key of A-flat) available as a Singles Reproducible Kit (please see page 21).

CLASSICAL CHRISTMAS BELLS by Karl Hitzemann With the popularity of the collection Classical Bells (see page 18), we decided it would be fun to arrange six well-known Christmas carols in various classical styles. What if Mozart had written “Joy To The World,” or if Beethoven had arranged “Angels We Have Heard On High,” or if Haydn had composed “Jingle Bells”? Other arrangements include Vivaldi’s take on “Silent Night,” Bach’s version of “Away In A Manger,” and Pachelbel’s “The First Noël.” These six arrangements for bells with orchestral accompaniment will have your players feeling like they are part of a symphony! Using the diatonic bells, the tunes are in settings that are designed to feature young bell players. And of course, these arrangements will work with any type of pitched percussion instruments, such as Boomwhackers®. Handbells and classical Christmas carols – a great combination!

And even more important, the percussion parts are written musically, adding another dimension to the performance. If your school is among the hundreds that used John and Paul’s last holiday collection for rhythm sticks and bucket bands (Rhythm Sticks & Bucket Bands For The Holidays), you know how much fun these tunes can be. But if you have never tried this at your school, we give you all of the basics you will need to have a successful performance. Remember, too, that these arrangements and great recorded tracks are designed so that they work fine with just the rhythm sticks, or with groups that only have small buckets.

RHYTHM STICKS & BUCKET BANDS FOR THE HOLIDAYS A Striking Collection for Young Players by John Riggio & Paul Jennings Rhythm sticks provide a great way for young students to have an active performance experience and learn to read rhythms. With the advent of “bucket bands,” the experience has become even more fun. Bucket bands, in their simplest form, are groups of players using upside down utility buckets as drums. This creative collection brings you six seasonal arrangements that can be performed with just the tracks and rhythm sticks, or by a young bucket band, or by combining the two. By purchasing this collection, you get parts for each group, as well as teaching suggestions. There are also ideas for forming a beginning bucket band, and downloadable scores that combine a lead sheet with both parts. It includes: • Good King Wenceslas - John has written a Celtic arrangement of this carol that is perfect for your students to groove to. • What Child Is This? - Even a tender song can be made to rock! Taken from the 16th century English melody “Greensleeves,” this arrangement brings the song into the modern era with electric guitars and rock drums. • We Wish You A Merry Christmas - We’ve taken this 3/4 tune and moved it to 4/4. With a driving bass line, power synths, and screaming guitars, it’s sure to get your students excited about performing in your holiday concert. • O Christmas Tree - Stately and beautiful, this rendition of the old favorite proves that even a pretty song can benefit from a good rhythm section. • Carol Of The Drum - An obvious choice for any percussion instrument with energetic tracks and lots of fun for your students. • Sing We Now Of Christmas - Similar to John’s version of this song from MUSIC K-8 Volume 19, Number 2, this version is slower, yet a blast for young students to play.

A Jubilant Christmas Program! SING WITH US THE CHRISTMAS STORY A Program for Voices Young and Older Musical Arrangements by Teresa and Paul Jennings The concept is simple, and the performance results will be dramatic and moving for performers and audiences alike. Take eight of the most beloved carols, and put them in simple vocal arrangements, the way you expect them to be (with optional second parts). Now, create a narrative based on the scriptural telling of the Christmas story, broken into segments that set up the songs. For background, add richly orchestrated recordings. As a final joyous option, we have made all of these arrangements appropriate for congregational participation, with intros that naturally lead them into the song. And we’ve included reproducible sing-along sheets for the audience in addition to the reproducible singer’s parts. If you doubt the power of this unique program, be sure to listen to the extended sound excerpts on our web site: GoldenRuleMusic.com The carols that tell the Christmas story include: • Angels We Have Heard On High • O Little Town Of Bethlehem • Away In A Manger • The First Noel • Hark! The Herald Angels Sing • We Three Kings Of Orient Are • Silent Night • Joy To The World It’s a simple concept but with a lot of parts, so we’ll list them all for clarity: • Eight favorite carols arranged simply with an optional part 2. • Narration from Scripture usable for as many readers as you like. • Arrangements appropriate for audience sing-along, with introductions and interludes. • Reproducible vocal parts for singers and sing-along lyric sheets for your audience. • Director’s Handbook with playable Piano/Vocal parts and suggestions for staging and costumes.

From G. F. Handel’s MESSIAH arranged for Young Voices by Paul Jennings We have created a new setting of this classic especially developed for young choirs. It is in a lower key, and is arranged for two treble voices. We are also providing a superb recording featuring full orchestra. “For Unto Us A Child Is Born...” A Special Prologue For Extra Drama! To add a special touch to your performances, we have also added a short, special prologue with optional narration with text from Isaiah 9:6. The recording is designed so that you can perform the work with the prologue or with the original opening to the work. We’re also offering the score and instrumental parts for the arrangement heard on the recording. This way, if you have a community orchestra, or a fairly good school orchestra, you can perform the work live. We do not believe that this arrangement is appropriate for most elementary school beginning orchestras, however. The orchestration is available in downloadable form as a PDF.

Let your own PreK-2 youngsters shine like the Christmas star! THE LITTLEST ANGEL CHOIR A Christmas Musical For Very Young Voices by Karl Hitzemann Christmas Day is almost here! The choir has been practicing, the drama team has been learning their lines, the musicians have been rehearsing – all in preparation for the big Christmas Pageant. But the littlest voices in the congregation are feeling a bit left out. They aren’t quite sure where they are supposed to fit in. Sometimes, though, no matter how well you’ve planned for something, life can throw you a few curves. As it turns out, the music director is stuck at an airport. The sets and costumes for the Christmas play won’t arrive in time. And the pastor has come down with laryngitis! It’s up to the congregation’s youngest members to figure out a way to save the day. Along the way, they learn that Christmas is about one thing and one thing only – the birth of Jesus. Watch as The Littlest Angel Choir delivers the message of Christ’s birth in the most humble and innocent of ways. The simple script and short, easy-to-remember songs are specially written for young children to learn and sing. The Director’s Handbook comes with everything you will need for a successful production. And while there are reproducible Singer’s Parts included in the handbook, we also provide reasonably priced, pre-printed Singer’s Editions to save time. Though the program is brief – about 15 minutes – the heartfelt message will last a lifetime. Songs from The Littlest Angel Choir include:

• Our Wonderful Story • Where Do We Fit In? • God Is On Our Side • Silent Night • Hear The Angels Sing!

OUR STATES ARE GREAT by Teresa Jennings Music is one of the best tools for teaching and learning about a wide variety of subjects, especially when the content to be learned is a finite list. This song includes a recurring refrain and verses that contain the names of the fifty states, in alphabetical order. The state names are spoken to a rhythm that is written out, and the refrain of the song is sung in unison. It’s not particularly difficult, and it’s catchy. Truly, a cross curricular gem.

See page 5. ALLEGIANCE RAP adapted by Teresa Jennings Music is one of the best teaching tools for just about any subject. That led us to write this dramatic setting of The Pledge of Allegiance. From the solo electric guitar to the symphonic strings and brass to the rock drums, the recording of this piece is truly inspirational. The first time through, it is rapped in unison. The second time through, it becomes a call and response rap.

JESUS LOVES ME arr. John Riggio The heart of the arrangement is a foot-tapping rock style with an intriguing new harmonic treatment. The melody and lyrics are traditional, so it can be performed with even your youngest singers. The setting has two parts, a “prelude” that is intended for a solo voice, then the bouncy version of the tune. The recording is broken into two parts so that you can just do the tune by itself or in a more theatrical version with the simple prelude and then the tune itself. It’s a natural for a performance – picture one of your youngest doing the solo, with your children’s choir moving in during the opening of the full song.

There are variations, however, from the original, and the actual melody and countermelodies are never used. Instead, there is an original melody which tells the story of a little baby “who loved with all his heart.” This song is very special, and is a favorite to us and to the many thousands of schools and churches who have used it.

DO UNTO OTHERS by Teresa Jennings The Golden Rule speaks to the best in all of us – generosity, goodwill, peace, love, hope, and kindness – for it is these things we all wish for ourselves as well. This amazing song isn’t particularly difficult, but it can be made more challenging for your older singers if you want. And it has an incredible saxophone and jazzy gospel accompaniment. This is a number that is guaranteed to have your congregation jumping to their feet with some saying a resounding “Amen!” SE-426G Performance Kit with CD (Reproducible) ...... 16.95 SE-427G Downloadable Kit (Downloadable PDFs and MP3s) ...... 14.95 SE-429G CONVENIENCE COMBO KIT (both Print and Downloadable)...... 18.95 THIS DAY OF PEACE by Teresa Jennings This tune was specifically written for International Peace Day (Sept. 21), but it can be used in any similar way, as it does not mention this occasion. It is a very gentle, lovely tune which can be performed as a round. The lyrics and melody are both simple so that anyone can learn it and sing along. Consider teaching it to all of your choirs and even inviting your congregation to join in when it becomes a round the second time through.

Teresa Jennings This arrangement of “Kumbaya” is quite unique as it is done in a somewhat lively African style instead of the usual folk-ish type arrangement. Geared toward older students, this arrangement includes three different parts. The accompaniment establishes the pulse with percussion. It uses congas, udu, log drum, shekere, and shells, as well as a djembe. But this song is so versatile, you may choose to do your own percussion or sing it a capella.

Teresa Jennings This beautiful carol has always been one of Teresa’s favorites, so crafting it for young singers has been a work of love. Her unique setting of it is soulful and ethereal in ways that are best heard. The bedrock of the arrangement is an interplay among the voices, a distinctive piano part, and one of the most haunting saxophone countermelodies ever written. Vocally, it is set as a unison, optional 2-part arrangement, and while the second part is optional, it really adds nicely to the mood. It should also be noted that this is a superb vehicle for a soloist, as you will hear on the optional solo recording provided in the kit.

Paul Jennings For many years this gentle old carol has been a favorite of ours, so we decided to do a special arrangement with an expressive orchestration that lays a string orchestra over a bed of acoustic guitars. For each animal, there is a different solo instrument in counterpoint to the solo, and they all come together for the closing of this lovely setting.

John Riggio We’ve taken this traditional French carol and added a bit of drama and excitement with our fast moving Celtic groove. The song uses traditional lyrics and sings as you know it, with a couple of neat additions. This song would lend itself to Celtic dance very well, so if you have any students with those gifts and someone who can choreograph, you can create a dramatic presentation.
