This song is something new for your Christmas program.  Imagine that you are one of those people journeying to see the Christ Child.  Imagine the cold, the dark, the Star, and the choir of angels singing over where the babe sleeps.  Imagine the joy you feel in your heart.  That is what you will feel singing this song.  The underlying piano ostinato portrays the constant progress of the journey.  All parts have a chance to sing the melody in this song, and a balanced SSA is especially important.  Perfect for the last piece in a program.  Performance time @ 3'15.

Part of the Christmas Story is the shepherds tending their flocks by night.  This interesting composition creates the impression that the tenors and basses are the shepherds and the sopranos and altos are the angels as it describes the shepherds' journey to find the Christ Child.  Full of meaning and beautiful chording, it can easily be performed as a tenor/bass duet using soloists, with other tenors and basses joining in on the tutti sections.  The song has several key changes and is mostly in a minor key, except for one section when the angels sing.  It can be a real show piece for your tenors and basses, and lends itself to the dramatic acting out of the scenarios.  Performance time is @ 5-6 minutes.

Composed by Pauline Boston. Christian,Christmas,Praise & Worship,Sacred. Octavo. 8 pages. Pauline Boston #4638519. Published by Pauline Boston (A0.1023071).

This beautiful song for Christmas asks what would have happened if no one had noticed the Bethlehem star that night, or heard the angels sing.  Would we have known that the Christ Child was born?  But fortunately for all Christians everywhere, we know!  The vocal ranges are not difficult in this piece, but the dynamics are very important, as well as enunciation to tell the story.  It begins with a solo, which is in range for any voice (SATB).  The piano accompaniment is an important part of the story, and it adds a rhythmic beat and good movement and chording.  Performance time is @ 4 minutes.

Composed by Lyrics by Joseph Mohr, Music by Franz Gruber. Arranged by Pauline Boston. A Cappella,Christian,Christmas,Instructional,Praise & Worship,Sacred. Octavo. 4 pages. Pauline Boston #4621547. Published by Pauline Boston (A0.1023067).

In this beautiful a cappella arrangement of the traditional Silent Night Christmas carol, original material has been added to create the illusion of the Herald Angels singing praise and announcing Christ's birth.  For the educator and choir director, this piece creates many teachable moments.  It is very important that the melody be heard clearly throughout the piece, even though it occurs in various voice parts throughout.  The piece is notated meticulously, so that breath marks and expression marks, when followed, help create the illusion of the Heavenly Choir.  Performance time is just over 2 minutes, so would be very appropriate for a Christmas Eve Prelude or special music.

Composed by Lee Holdridge and Molly Ann Leiken. Arranged by Pauline Boston. Contemporary. Octavo. 10 pages. Pauline Boston #4616221. Published by Pauline Boston (A0.1023066).

 An American Hymn is an exquisite song about love of country, originally from the movie East of Eden. This arrangement is suitable for high school, college, community and church choral groups.   For educators, it is an enjoyable piece to teach choral breathing, subtle dynamic changes, and matching of vowel sounds. A good solo voice (tenor or soprano range) is required.  The supporting choral background is very subtle and interpretive and enhances the beautiful lyrics and melody. Simple rhythms, choral harmonies and moving piano accompaniment make it a pleasure to listen to and to perform. Performance time is 3:37.      .

This fun song describes the cold weather being experienced up north and the decision to go to Florida for Christmas where they will be together and warm.  The clever lyrics and swinging, upbeat tempo in the chorus make for a different style of secular Christmas song.  Performance time is @ 3 minutes.

When all your friends are taking cruises, climbing mountains, and otherwise touring the world, but you are just at home, this song is for you!  This tongue-in-cheek SATB song is fun to sing (I'd LOVE to see your photographs!) and is easy to learn.  There are numerous tempo changes, to emphasize the lyrics, but the tune is memorable and within normal range for all parts.  This is a change-of-pace piece for every concert and will be enjoyed by the audience as well as the performers.  Performance time is @ 3'50.

My Grandmother Pauline Wehage had a special devocation to the Virgin Mary.  She passed this devotion onto her daughter, my Aunts Dorothy and Helen. This setting of the Ave Maria isdedicated to their memories. The simple, uncomplicated diatonic
harmony is something that they perhaps would have understood and appreciated. This setting may be used for Worship or for
concert use.
