SSAA choir and piano - Moderately Difficult - Digital Download SKU: MQ.AHM-22-E Composed by Christopher Aspaas. Christmas. Instrument part. 16 pages. Aspen Hill Music - Digital #AHM-22-E. Published by Aspen Hill Music - Digital (MQ.AHM-22-E). English.This setting of ‘Twas in the Moon of Wintertime was created for the Manitou Singers of St. Olaf College and their conductor, Dr. Therees Tkach Hibbard. I was asked to re-arrange my SATB setting of the same tune and text (published by earthsongs) but could not come up with a workable solution. Instead, I started over with a setting for accompanied treble choir and viola knowing the skill and musicianship of violist Dr. Charles Gray, Professor of Music (Viola, Violin, String Literature and Pedagogy). Three tunes are incorporated in this arrangement: Une Jeune Pucelle; Vom Himmel Hoch; and, Veni, Emmanuel. The first tune, Une Jeune Pucelle, is the ‘Twas in the Moon of Wintertime melody, and first appears in fragments within the opening viola solo. The second theme, Vom Himmel Hoch, is found in the viola part in measure 30, and implies the text, “From heaven above to earth I come To bear good news to every home; Glad tidings of great joy I bring, Whereof I now will say and sing...� which matches the unfolding drama of the ‘Twas in the Moon story. The third tune, Veni, Emmanuel, comes in response to the viola solo with the interjection: “Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel, shall come to you, O Israel.�.

Voice (SSAA) - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.892257 Composed by Richard Rodgers. Arranged by Jennifer Barnes. Jazz,Standards. Vocal Jazz Ensemble. 22 pages. Jennifer Barnes Music #6500485. Published by Jennifer Barnes Music (A0.892257). This classic jazz standard My Funny Valentine pays tribute to the great tradition of vocal jazz soloists like Sarah Vaughan and Chet Baker by featuring up to five separate melodic solos throughout the piece, as well as a possible improvisation section of 16 measures to be split up among instrumental soloists (or vocalists if you prefer, but probably not desirable in most cases!).  Treble ensemble vocals mostly fill the role of background vocalists with the exception of a rubato a cappella bridge section after solos, but splits into four parts much of the time for a lush and rich sound from your singers.  Full-length demo, part tracks, minus tracks, and accompaniment tracks available at JenniferBarnesMusic.com.
