Uses: Christmas, Christmas Eve Scripture: Luke 2:13-14 This ancient carol from Canada mingles Native American imagery with the story of the Christ child. The novel arrangement returns the song to its origins utilizing a primal choral ostinato in the men's voices with the tuneful melody wafting above. Incorporating a full use of vocal ranges this atmospheric compositional approach hints at soaring angels and winter wind. Pristine as fresh snow, this a cappella offering provides a satisfying moment in your seasonal programming.

Uses: General, Concert, Contest Scripture: Philippians 3:20-21 Expressive melodic lines and phrases lend a sense of yearning and melancholy to the unwavering hope and peace found in the text of this folk melody. Aaron McDermid has arranged Come Sing to Me of Heaven with broad, open chords and tightly-woven suspensions. The slow, mournful opening gives way to a faster, contrasting middle section as the anticipation and hope of heaven builds. This moving contemplation of death and heaven is also a song of comfort, an emotional offering for concert or contest.

Uses: Christmas, Concert This movement from the composer's larger work, Alleluia! Puer natus est nobis is a sensitive, almost haunting setting of the traditional Latin text. A repeated chaconne-like progression forms the foundation of the work while a soprano solo rises like a prayer above the choral texture. Gentle dissonance requires a purity of tone and a careful attention to dynamics and balance.

Composer: Nicholas White
