Mary Had a Little Baby is a traditional spiritual that came from the gospel music of the African-American community.
      With its infectious rhythm and easy, jazz-like accompaniment, it can fit into the community concert, church service, or other occasions.
      It can also be interpreted  with a larger meaning, slower, more varied, allowing the listeners to think of Mary rocking her little lamb now ushered into a dangerous world.  To the question, What you gonna call that baby? comes the affirmation: King Emmanuel.  
      A spiritual carol that will be appreciated by everyone.

A gentle, beautiful, Christmas Hymn Lullaby.  Music by Kevin G. Pace.  Text by Mary Ann W. Snowball.

Text:
Rocking my baby when he cries,
Rocking him ‘til the night draws nigh.
Rocking him with my ev’ry prayer;
He is my baby, so rare.

Rocking my baby ‘til he grows,
Rocking him with such heavn’ly glow.
Rocking Him as God’s holy Child;
He is my baby, so mild.

Rocking my baby, grasping tight,
Rocking him, swaddled in pure light.
Rocking him ‘til He’ll be released . . .
He is my baby, my peace.

Rocking Him as God’s holy One . . .
He is my Baby, God’s Son.

Edward Miller (1735-1807): Edward Miller, an English composer and organist, is renowned for his contributions to church music.

Margaret Deland (1857-1945): Margaret Deland, an American novelist, poet, and humanitarian, crafted Easter Music as a poignant reflection on the Easter season's profound significance. Deland's evocative words invite listeners to contemplate the themes of rebirth, redemption, and hope that lie at the heart of Easter's message. Through her literary talents, Deland captured the essence of the Easter story, infusing it with depth and emotion.

Arrangement Details:

This edition of Easter Music transcends traditional choral settings with the addition of powerful instrumental accompaniment for optional brass quartet. The majestic resonance of the brass instruments enhances the arrangement's grandeur, providing a stirring backdrop to the choir's melodic lines. Choirs have the flexibility to perform this arrangement as a standalone anthem or incorporate it seamlessly into congregational worship, making it a versatile addition to Easter services or any sacred occasion.

Ideal Usage:

Whether performed as a standalone anthem during Easter services or integrated into congregational hymnody, Easter Music offers a captivating musical experience that resonates with audiences of all ages. Its timeless melody, profound lyrics, and dynamic instrumental accompaniment combine to create a powerful expression of faith and celebration, making it a perfect selection for Easter Sunday or any worship setting seeking to embrace the hope and joy of the resurrection.

UPC: 600313488658. English.

Commissioned by Choral Arts Northwest, Robert Bode, director, this text focuses on the beauty of love and peace that can be found in the wondrous mystery of Christ’s birth. The bright light from the star and angels shining down on the manger is represented by the upper voices descending into clustered chords of light on the words “love came down.� The second element is a melody, initially sung by the tenors, that has a gentle, rocking motion—like that of a lullaby—representing Jesus’ mother Mary holding and rocking her child to sleep. These two themes weave together throughout the piece and finally coalesce to express the brightness of the sign that is signaled by the star and angels, as the upper voices sing the words “love divine,� painting colors of gold and white light illuminating the peaceful manger scene.
