Octavo. 11 pages. Carol Troutman Wiggins #2907289. Published by Carol Troutman Wiggins (A0.727123). The Christmas WishVocal Solo for AltoWould you like a different kind of Christmas wish this year? Here it is!This song is based on the poem Christmas Wishes written by contemporary author and poet Mary White Pustrom. Mary wrote many poems with the theme of Christmas, including what she thought people should wish for at Christmas. While so many adults wish for a new car, a sparkling diamond ring, or celebrating with a nice vacation in the tropics, she believes that Christmas wishes should be taken a step further by considering the wishes and needs of others more so than our own. In her poem Christmas Wishes, her desire for reaching out to others and granting them their wishes for the simple things in life take on great meaning: Christmas Wishes by Mary White Pustrom Now that Christmas is drawing near I cannot help but seeAll the poor and needy people who are reaching out to me. It seems that everywhere I look there is a need to fill; I feel so inadequate when their wishes I can't fill. Among the lights and decorations, there is hunger and despair, Faces filled with sadness while bright carols fill the air; Little children who are cold and hungry wait for Santa Claus, Wishing that he would bring them food, for that's a worthy cause.  Others laughing, smiling, singing - so completely unaware Of all the pain and suffering that's around them everywhere; They wish for generosity in our thoughts, time, and deeds, And wish that here at Christmas time, someone could fill their needs. My wish is that we reach out to our sisters and our brothers, Who depend on us for kindness from one to another; Fill our hearts with Christmas cheer, and teach us how to share, So that Christmas wishes will be fulfilled all throughout the year. It sounds like she might have the right idea. At this time of year, it is so easy to get caught up in buying and receiving presents, the lights, and the Christmas tree, without considering the simple needs of others. Maybe this year, these simple wishes will come true for some: ·        Sick little children to be healed ·        Homeless people and children to find a family ·        For the less fortunate to have enough food, clothing, shelter, and shoes on their feet ·        That no one spends Christmas lonely and alone, and spent the way it should be, with loving family and friends.  Most of all, wish that by caring for one another, Christmas wishes would come true all year long. ~ Carol Troutman Wiggins

Published by Lori Cummings (A0.762351). The Wiggly Tooth is a song for Unison Children's Choir with Piano Accompaniment that talks about a child who discovers they have a wiggly tooth and how they wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle that tooth to get it to come out.  The words and melody are fun and catchy, with a surprise ending for the audience when the tooth finally comes out.  There are two verses and a really fun, catchy chorus.  The accompaniment carries the melody, so this song is suitable for small or young choirs as well.  It also can be used as a solo, and would be great for concerts and music festivals.  I currently do not have it recorded with a choir, but hope to have one of my local music teacher friends record it for me with their choir in the fall after they return to school.

Published by John Fisher (A0.972975). In some places of worship,  some parishioners rise when the Scripture is read.  When I first observed that, I asked one who was standing why he did that and he said it came from the Book of Nehemiah. After further research, I composed this baritone solo to preach out a lesson.  I asked another member of the church if she knew anything of this practice, and she told me some do it but others do not want visitors to stand out. With an Old Time hymn sing accompaniment, this makes for good summer fill in music while the choir is on vacation.

A simple (but, hopefully, effective) unison setting of Rev. J Montgomery's hymn words.  This piece is most suitable for Eucharist services during Passiontide as it references not only Christ as Bread and Wine, but also the penitent malefactor's plea for Jesus to Remember me when you come into your kingdom.  As with all unison pieces, variety can be ensured by the use of solo or upper / lower voices for different verses.
