This lovely cantata is about how we gather together in song to celebrate the birth of Jesus. It has a Celtic feel and the songs are from several different countries - United States, Ireland, England, France, Germany, Scotland, Italy. There are 8 songs included, 2 originals, 2 medleys and 4 songs that you know and love included also. All of the songs are in SATB with an (optional) accent instrument part (choice of flute, violin or cello - parts included at the end of each score) - the score has the flute part so you can see where the accent instrument fits into the score. A simple piano part is included in each score. The voices and accent instruments help to complete the entire piece. You can also purchase individual songs on here separately if you choose to not purchase the whole cantata. However, it is a bargain to purchase the cantata. There are narration parts before each song that give a little history of the song. You can opt out of using them if desired. The titles of the songs are: 1. Baby, Jesus, Was Born Unto This Earth. (original)  2. Christ Child's Lullaby. 3. Bring a Torch Jeanette, Isabella. 4. Christmas Carols - Coventry and Wexford. 5. Good Christian Men Rejoice. 6. O Come Let Us Adore Him, Christ the Lord - (In the Bleak Midwinter, Gesu Bambino, The Snow Lay on the Ground) 7. Peace on Earth (original) 8. Sing We Now of Christmas. Take a little time to listen to the mp3 attached. It has computer voices, but you can get an idea of what it is supposed to sound like. It also has one of the instrument parts as a sample and then the piano on each one. Any questions, please email me at cdboss@cvalley.net. I'm glad to work with you. This is my 5th cantata and most recent one. You can purchase the other 4 on here - check them out. You can also purchase in book form any of these on Amazon.


I have background accompaniment to these songs. If you purchase a book and would like them, please email me with proof of purchase and I will email them back to you. .

Welcome to this entry in the Leatherman Library of Hymnody (LLOH).

Features of the series include:

•Intermediate 2-page arrangements suitable as either piano, electronic keyboard, or organ solos or duets.
•Chord symbols included as a service to classical guitarists.
•Smooth voice-leadings, making the arrangements ideal for solo/prelude use on electronic keyboards–for example, using the piano/strings setting
•Lyrics included (and occasionally updated) to facilitate congregational singing or vocal solo.
•Hymn background information included for personal edification or use as printed program notes.
•Optional repeats which allow you to fit into the allotted time available in a service.
•An introduction and/or tag in many cases, often incorporating a classical excerpt or related hymn fragment.

This hymn is sometimes included in the Advent section of modern hymnals, and–perhaps more often–in the Triumphal Entry / Palm Sunday section, where it works equally well.

It has long been my passion and privilege to create customized arrangements for the churches and schools with whom I have been associated. Many were published; some were not. During the 2020 slowdown caused by Covid-19, I finally had the time to start posting the unpublished resources on Sheet Music Plus.

Having spent most of my life in evangelical circles, I've experienced hundreds of altar calls. But I can't help observing that if one were to sing all 10 stanzas of this Wesley hymn, that would be an altar call on steroids! ;-)
