This award-winning, heartwarming original children's Christmas Musical retells the Christmas Story through the eyes of the animals, and reminds us that even the humblest among us have important gifts to share! The story is told entirely through scripture readings and songs, which allows for maximum flexibility with age-range, cast size, and set/stage requirements. The included scripture readings are from the World English Bible, but you may substitute any version you prefer, and longer readings can be shared by multiple readers. It can be performed as a simple Lessons & Carols style service/concert, or it can easily be expanded into a full pageant, complete with sets and costumes. (average run time 45 minutes) The Animal Alleluia features one adapted traditional hymn and five original songs (plus one reprise) written and arranged for school-aged children by Joanna Mills. The songs are all set in an accessible range for young children, and feature simple tunes which are easy to learn. Some pieces also provide solo opportunities. This package contains two versions of each song; an easy unison version (some with optional easy descant or counterpoint harmonies on the final chorus), and a 2-part choir version, which features simple, easy-to-learn harmonies. This allows you to mix and match your arrangements to suit the abilities of your singers and your rehearsal time constraints. For those students who do not read music, one-page lyric sheets (for the unison arrangements) are also included to help reduce copying costs. The piano accompaniments are at an intermediate level and guitar chords are included, which allows older youth to participate as musicians (or allows experienced accompanists to learn them quickly).

Contemporary praise song by Jonas Myrin & Matt Redman This superb contemporary praise song by Jonas Myrin and Matt Redman is given a sensitive choral treatment in this ballad setting by Lloyd Larson for SATB voices. The words of the Psalmist (Ps. 103) combine with the idea that we could never begin to count the reasons for which we come before God with praise. In the final verse, the number 10,000 is further connected to our endless praise in eternity, forevermore.
