Glory to God Sing We is a Christmas anthem with divisi  for treble choirs, especially suitable for junior or children's choirs.

The melody is catchy and easy to learn and the accompaniment is straightforward and supports the singers well. This is a rhythmic but lyrical Christmas anthem that young singers will enjoy. Above all, it expresses the profound joy and anticipation children of all ages experience in welcoming the Christ Child!  Nancy DeVries is an American-born composer, organist and choir director living in Ontario, Canada, whose published and commissioned works have been performed in the United States and Canada.

Hodie Christus Natus Est - A Christmas Carol is a contemporary carol which pays hommage to the text of a traditional Gregorian chant for Christmas Day - Today Christ is born.

The vocal line is set within a moderate range comfortable for lower voices. This three verse carol contains two phrases in Latin which are easy to learn, repetitive and familiar to many.

Chaplet of the Holy Face is a musical setting of the text of a Catholic devotion known by the same title.  Based on Psalm 68:1, Arise, O Lord and let Thy enemies be scattered, six invocations of this Psalm verse is alternated with the Gloria Patri five times, and concludes with the Psalm verse sung three times, in honor of the 3 year public life of Jesus Christ. The text is sung in reparation for sins that most offend God, the disfiguring facial wounds which Jesus received during His sacred Passion, and to repel and defeat God's enemies. Devotees of the Holy Face Devotion will especially appreciate this powerful work.  
This versatile piece may be performed in a number of ways; with a solo voice throughout, a soloist or cantor and group of singers, or for choral singing. The accompaniment will work equally well played on piano or organ, or it could even be sung unaccompanied. It would also be effective sung by a treble or youth choir alternating verses with an adult choir. Suitable for public performance or personal devotional use.  



This work may be sung by a individual or a group, or may be sung by a cantor alternating with a group. It is suitable for personal or liturgical use.
