Choral Choir (SSAA) - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.505695 By Alan Wagstaff. By Alan Wagstaff. Arranged by Alan Wagstaff. Celtic,Folk,Holiday,Irish,Jewish,Traditional. Octavo. 23 pages. Alan Wagstaff #117353. Published by Alan Wagstaff (A0.505695). This original song uses English folk idioms to retell a traditional snowdrop legend. The chorus is an English 'weather rhyme'. It has been set for choir (SSAA), piano, harp, fiddle, and flute. One of the Snowdrop’s folk names is ‘Eve’s Comforter’; another ‘Maid of February’. Candlemas Carol Maid of February, if you will, grace mantle, hearth, and windowsill. So let us all be of goodwill and gather round, together. When Winter holds the world in thrall, and ice and snow lie over all, the Maiden can at once recall, the coming Summer weather. If Candlemas is fair and bright, cold Winter will take a second bite. But if this day brings clouds and rain, Winter won’t return again. When Eve and Adam left Eden fair, the snow and ice lay ev’rywhere, which filled their hearts with bleak despair, for they could find no pardon. They glimpsed the flowers of paradise, beyond the earthly cold and ice, but they could not be perfect, twice, nor get back to the garden. If Candlemas is fair and bright, cold Winter will take a second bite. But if this day brings clouds and rain, Winter won’t return again. A teardrop fell from Eve’s sad eye, and froze upon the ground close by. An angel raised it up on high, and called for Heaven’s power. The ice became a snowdrop, then. Thus hope returned to Eve again. And all the people say: ‘Amen!’ in praise of Winter’s flower. If Candlemas is fair and bright, cold Winter will take a second bite. But if this day brings clouds and rain, Winter won’t return again. Alan Wagstaff The legend tells that, after Adam and Eve were banished from Eden’s perpetual summer, they wandered, despondently, into Earth’s freezing winter. Eve wept as the snow fell around them. Seeing her tears, an angel intervened. He caught a teardrop when it froze and breathed on it, turning it into a snowdrop. When the angel left more snowdrops sprang up. Thus, snowdrops in Winter, serve as a reminder, that better times will come around. The tale was often recalled at Candlemas: February 2nd.

Snowball.Text:Drained of strength and in despair, disciples rowed all nightIn a storm upon the sea, the Sea of Galilee.Clashing, crashing inverse winds in darkness without lightBrought the Savior from the mount, from the very heights.Frightened when they saw Him come, perceiving not his form,Jesus said, “O, it is I.� The boisterous waves were high.Peering, nearing as He walked right through the raging storm,Jesus said, “Be not afraid,� though nature then was torn.Treading on the water’s edge and almost dawn that morn,Jesus calmed the troubled men; his strength not at an end.Talking, walking to the boat, disciples still forlorn,Powers of divinity were seen as newly born.“Of a truth thou art the Son,� the very Son who showsMiracles engulf each heart when faith becomes a part.“Of a truth thou art the Son,� reveals a witness grown.Walking on the sea became pure testimony known.

3, 4, or 5 octabes handbells - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: C7.CGB1034 Composed by Brian Childers. Arranged by Brian Childers. Christmas. Master Ringer. With Brass quintet or organ, timpani. Score. 8 pages. Chorister's Guild - Digital #CGB1034. Published by Chorister's Guild - Digital (C7.CGB1034). UPC: 749193026724.From Joshua 1:9: ...Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Resilience is a musical painting of the journey of life, and of a resilient soul. We hear the serenity of sure comfort at the beginning, and then a melody appears--it emanates peacefulness, but also challenge. Major seventh and minor seventh chords are used back-to-back to portray the juxtaposition of light and darkness. When the minor chords take over and the melody begins to fall, a contemplative, tearful section begins, only to be interrupted by a confident rhythm. The 11/8 time signature conveys unsteadiness, but as it continues and grows, it becomes steady and powerful. Finally, the main theme returns in exuberance--the true form of a resilient spirit. As the music comes to a close, the final chord is a major seventh, not minor--good has triumphed over evil--and the notes float up heavenward to the final resting place--it is finished; having persevered, the soul has earned its peaceful rest.

William Butler Yeats ends his short story The Adoration of the Magi with the narrator describing a centuries old Gaelic prayer… when I pray against the demons I repeat a prayer which was made I know not how many centuries ago to help some poor Gaelic man or woman who had suffered with a suffering like mine.�The ancient prayer is presented for female voices and solo violin followed by The Magi introducing piano and choir. Yeats’ Magi “appear and disappear� in modern times, with “their ancient faces like rain-beaten stones�. They continue to search and wait for Christ’s second coming with their “eyes still fixed, hoping, hoping�.  The Magi will remain “the unsatisfied ones� until they “find once more, the uncontrollable mystery on the bestial floor.�To explore all choral titles in College Choral Series please click here.
