Full Orchestra - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1019535 Composed by Peter Petrack. Contemporary. Score and parts. 167 pages. Distributed by The Wayfarer Partnership, LLC. #3516473. Published by Distributed by The Wayfarer Partnership, LLC. (A0.1019535). The Penitence of Time is an Orchestral tone poem based on the many ghost stories told about historic Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, especially those about Moravian College’s own music building, the 1748 Brethren’s House. It was used as a Revolutionary War hospital and meeting place for George Washington and his generals.   Bethlehem may or may not be a haven for phantoms and specters, but it is certainly defined by the centuries of history that happened there. Listeners will hear orchestral bells striking midnight, as well as references to church chorales and Revolutionary War-era fife and drum. If you'd like to hear the full recording, feel free to visit Peter Petrack's Youtube channel.

Piano Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1290172 By Jeff Bjorck. By Richard Storrs Willis. Arranged by Jeff Bjorck. 19th Century,Advent,Christian,Christmas,Traditional. Score. 6 pages. Pure Piano Music by Jeff Bjorck #880891. Published by Pure Piano Music by Jeff Bjorck (A0.1290172). Jeff Bjorck's original solo piano arrangement of this classic Christmas carol appears on his album/CD The Wondrous Gift: A Pure Piano Christmas. On this album, Bjorck juxtaposes this piece with Silent Night because he feels that musically, the two carols are close relatives. His arrangement evokes images of a deeply dark sky as the backdrop for a myriad of gleaming stars--the setting for the angels' announcement to the shepherds of Peace on earth, goodwill toward men, from Heaven's all-gracious King. This arrangement is especially suited for Christmas Eve services, especially those held late at night.

However, the first version was a song with piano accompaniment. Saint-Saëns himself later made two versions for violin and piano and for two pianos. Further transcriptions were added by other composers, e.g. for solo piano and organ etc. Giuseppe Gariboldi wrote a Fantaisie-Transcription for the flute.The composition is based on the poem by Henri Cazalis. In the 19th century, piano songs with dance of death stories had a special significance. (e.g. F. Schubert: The Death and the Maiden)According to legend, Death appears at midnight every year on Halloween. He calls forth the dead from their graves to dance for him. The skeletons dance for him until the cockerel crows at dawn, then they must return to their graves until the next year.

Choral Choir (SSA) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.768507 Composed by MarcAntoine Charpentier. Arranged by Roar Kvam. Baroque,Christian,Christmas. Octavo. 112 pages. KVAMusic Edition #4717675. Published by KVAMusic Edition (A0.768507). The Messe de Minuit was written around 1694 for the Jesuit church of Saint-Louis in Paris.What is remarkable about this mass is the use of ten French noëls (Christmas carols) in the composition. In the liturgy the birth of Christ is celebrated with three masses: the first during the night of December 24th, the second in the early morning of December 25th, and the third on the day itself. A special atmosphere surrounds the first of these masses on account of the midnight hour, and so Charpen­tier gave special expression to the long observed practice in France of including popular Christmas carols in the Christmas liturgy by including them in the composition of his midnight mass. Although the Council of Trent had forbidden this kind of borrowing of secular melodies in masses in principle, long established customs were tolerated. Charpentier’s justly famous Messe de Minuit represents a perfect synthesis between the secular and liturgical, and between the popular and learned. Adapting the vast majority of the Latin mass to French noëls, the Messe de Minuit’s fresnhess and joyful spirit perfectly represent Advent.  While Charpentier used ten different noël’s through the course of the work, the most serious moment of the mass, the statements of Christ’s incarnation, his mortal existence, and his death under Pontius Pilate, is given wholly original, appropriately sober music.
