Choral Choir,Choral,SATB Chorus - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1488102 Composed by Gail M. Luley. A Cappella,Advent,Christian,Classical,Traditional. 8 pages. Gail M Luley #1064981. Published by Gail M Luley (A0.1488102). Music and Performance NotesThe Advent sets a poem by Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) to music. The poet asks us to recognize that God comes to us and is present in everything around us, in the things we see, experience and feel. God ever comes and touches us with joy. We recognize God in our songs, in our moods, in sorrow, in joy, in our daily lives.This music is scored for SATB choir and viola. If a violist is not available, a violin can substitute. A piano reduction of the choral parts can be used just for rehearsal, or also in the performance if necessary. If no string player is available, the pipe organ can be used for the string part.Note on the textRabindranath Tagore was a Bengali poet, writer, playwright, composer, philosopher, social reformer, and painter during the age of Bengal Renaissance. He reshaped Bengali literature and music as well as Indian art with Contextual Modernism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Author of the profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful poetry of Gitanjali, he became in 1913 the first non-European and the first lyricist to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.Song Offering/Gitanjali 45Have you not heard his silent steps?He comes, comes, ever comes.Every moment and every age, every day and everynight he comes, comes, ever comes.Many a song have I sung in many a mood of mind,but all their notes have always proclaimed,He comes, comes, ever comes.In the fragrant days of sunny April through the forestpath he comes, comes, ever comes.In the rainy gloom of July nights on the thunderingchariot of clouds he comes, comes, ever comes.In sorrow after sorrow, it is his steps that press upon my heart,and it is the golden touch of his feet that makes my joy to shine.Rabindranath Tagore.

Published by Exultet Music (A0.627629). Once, long ago, a majestic church stood on a high hill in the center of a great city. But more remarkable than its tall towers, great archways and grand entrance was the legend surrounding the bells. It was the custom on Christmas Eve for all the people to bring to the church their offerings to the Christ-child. And there had been a time when an unusual offering brought magnificent music from the chimes which were rung, everyone believed, by the angels. But lately, no offering had been great enough...that is until young, poor brothers, Pedro and Manuel, make their first pilgrimage through the snow to give their simple gift.This touching story is enhanced with a re-enactment of the nativity by the children's choir. Score and script included as well as unlimited performance rights for one year.  To hear the entire score, please visit the YouTube link.  If you are interested in accompaniment tracks, please contact: mtapublishing@gmail.com and ask about pricing.

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.866214 Composed by Jeffrey Ouper. Christian,Christmas,Contemporary,Sacred. Octavo. 19 pages. Jeffrey Ouper #2894533. Published by Jeffrey Ouper (A0.866214). Winter's Breath is an original Christmas song for SATB Choir & Piano accompaniment.  There is some divided parts in the soprano.  The song's duration is about 6 minutes.  Winter's Breath is perfect for holiday concerts and worship services.  There is also a version for solo voice available.About the song:Winter’s Breath is an original Christmas song (original music and lyrics) composed in 2014. The lyrics embrace both a secular and religious message of peace, love, and hope inspired by the beauty of winter snow.  I really wanted to write a more profound Christmas song with an important message embracing a modern view of Christmas since so many songs are commercialized or limited in meaning.Having lived in the Arizona desert since 2007, snow has become a novelty to me, and I was inspired by its beauty and the memories I had of winter growing up in northern Illinois.  The chorus that repeats throughout the song presents an irony of winter warming the soul.  I found this to be both interesting and also meaningful in that I was describing my new viewpoint of winter snow (seeing more beauty in it than before) and presenting a metaphor for life-one that encourages the listener to see the beauty in something that most northerners despise.The first verse begins with sensory perceptions including seeing, hearing, touching, and smelling various natural qualities of winter.  The second verse describes the joy of children playing in the snow and their belief in winter stories.  The third verse is directed at worrying adults with a message of hope for the future.  The bridge encourages the listener to look past the negativity and differences in other people and look towards Christmas and the new year for a hope renewed.  The final verse concludes with the traditional religious view of Christmas tradition.

Immerse in the dark and arid night, the torment and the anguish of the dungeon, he contemplates and reflects on that mystery so precious for himself: The mystery of the Holy Trinity. One and multiple at the same time, the image of ‘water’ (that flows and runs…) is the best that comes to his mind in this meditation in which the highest and more abstract perspectives of the faith becomes so close and takes flesh, so to speak, in the touching simplicity of this primary element, element of the life itself.The Vocal Ensemble is divided in two: a SSAATTBB Choir Ensemble of 8 voices (or more) and a SSATB Soloist Ensemble . Although this division, the whole ensemble works as a unity; consequently the soloists should be stand up mixed with the rest of the voices.
