This dramatic setting of the story Christ told about the Good Samaritan has been set by John Horman in a very interesting manner. First, all of the two-part writing is canonic. Secondly, the highly repetitive motive of three notes at the opening helps give the opportunity to concentrate on the drama of the text so that the word is more important than a melody. It also makes for easy learning and memorization so that concentration can be part of the story. An excellent vehicle for clear enunciation, as in 'The Festival Alleluia'. This anthem could also very well be performed with a pantomime dramatization concurrent with the singing.

This new, well crafted musical combines original songs and familiar carols from around the world to tell the Christmas story. Through narration, drama and song, choristers share how Jesus came to be the Light of the Worldo over 2,000 years ago. The narration begins with the story of creation, turns to the prophetic words of Isaiah, and then recounts the events of JesusAE birth. Three of the carols give the option of singing the original language texts (French, German, Spanish); a pronunciation guide provided. Optional descants and accessible second parts enrich the experience and help develop part-singing skills. Many of the songs could be used separately for worship. Throughout the musical, a single burning candle symbolizes the light of Christ. This light is shared with the congregation at the close of the musical with an invitation to take the Light out into the world. Performance time: 30-40 minutes.

This is a complete Evensong setting which ranges from unison and two part singing (Preces and Responses) to three part voices (Nunc Dimittis, which calls for a soloist.) The organ accompaniment is sometimes merely supportive and at other times solidly featured (in the Phos Hilaron, for one example). Despite the fact that this was written for children's choir, we think it is a useful package for anyone who wants Evensong material that will carry you through the entire service from start to finish.
