King of Little Children, The
Master hymn-text writer, John V. Pearson, collaborated with well-known composer, Janice Kapp Perry, on over eighty hymns and songs during his lifetime, which came to a premature end in the year 2010 following a serious illness. His works, some of which have been performed by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, are a monument to his life and will bless others through time.
He had a special love for children and their relationship with Jesus, and he has combined these two elements in a hauntingly sweet Christmas hymn, “The King of Little Children.” He has a particular love for this hymn and the interesting musical setting it was given by Janice Kapp Perry.

Like a Lily
For over twenty years U.S. Senator Orrin G. Hatch and his friend, composer Janice Kapp Perry, have collaborated in writing
a special one-page Christmas hymn each year, which was distributed widely among colleagues and friends. It has been a work of the heart as they tried to capture a particular aspect of Christmas that was meaningful to them. This gentle little Christmas hymn conveys the beauty and simple purity of Him who came to earth that first Christmas morning. His purity is compared to “a lily pure and white,” “a lily straight and tall,” and “a lily clean and bright,” and ends with the phrase, “Like a lily, fragrant sweet, Came the Holy Prince of Peace.” Choirs will enjoy the simple pristine feeling of this Christmas carol.

In Bethlehem There Lies a King
Told in the first person (an eyewitness likely a shepherd), InBethlehem There Lies a King recounts what he experiences and saw at the birth of Christ. Music by Kathleen Holyoak and Lyrics by Gary Croxall as follows:
I saw Him in a manger where I touched His hand and smoothed His hair.He smiled at me and I felt peace while in a stable filled with beasts.A wondrous child in swaddling clothes, a blossom fairer than a rose,In Bethlehem I found the babe and heard the angels sing His praise.In Bethlehem there lies a King. “Behold His star,” the angels sing.“The Lord of lords is born this day and rests upon a bed of hay.”I saw the Angel of the Lord whose voice did pierce me to the core.“Fear not,” he spoke with solemn word, “For this is Jesus Christ, the Lord.”The shepherds came and wise men too. They knelt before this baby, whoWas born to rule as King of kings and take away our cares and sins.In Bethlehem there lies a King. “Behold His star,” the angels sing.“The Lord of lords is born this day and rests upon a bed of hay.” Copyright 2014

Oh, it’s Halloween eve and believers believe
In witches and goblins galore.
The wind blows a tune, while a big yellow moon

Scary masks that will give you a fright.
Your knees will grow weak when you hear a ghost shriek

Ramblin Kind – Tyler Stenson
Ain’t it like the wind to never want to stay;
Something finally touches down
And all at once a gust comes and takes it away.
That old wind is here- then it’s gone.
That old wind is hell-bent on moving on.
So, let’s just say She knows how to go away;
How to keep from standing still
Just like a river, fast cars, birds and trains.
Let’s just say She’s sailing as we speak.
Let’s just say She’s fading by degrees.
Showing tell-tale signs that She’s alive,
Everybody is leaving something sometime.
Always leaving or being left behind,
We’re infamously all the Ramblin Kind.
Some would say I roam and that I’m made of stone
But they don’t know what I know–
I know once you’re in my heart, there is no getting out.
Some would say I’m planted in the ground.
Some would say I’m impossible to pin down.
Showing tell-tale signs that I’m alive,
Everybody is leaving something sometime.
Always leaving or being left behind,
We’re infamously all the Ramblin Kind.
It’s a lonely road I’m speaking of and
These are lonely lyrics rolling off of my tongue.
But there’s a tell-tale truth in between the lines: Everybody is leaving something sometime.
Always leaving or being left behind,
We’re infamously all the Ramblin Kind.

What Does Christmas Mean?
In 1979, composer Daniel Carter, then a music composition major at university, was forced to sell the piano he inherited to pay tuition. This last resort deal to remain in school included the option for Daniel to buy the piano back, but that opportunity slipped away because of ongoing lack of financial ability. However, during final exams and Christmas season a few months later, his brother, Tim, managed to buy the piano as a Christmas gift for Daniel. As a result, “What Does Christmas Mean?” was composed on Christmas Eve that year and Daniel gave copies of the song as gifts. This story is now a book titled, “Another Christmas Carol”. Exclusively available through HolySheetMusic.com, Daniel’s original hand-drawn manuscript of this lovely, simple vocal solo makes a perfect companion to his book.

As we started to put this arrangement together we imagined a small family of pioneers crossing the American plains. During the introduction, verses, and ending we tried to portray this family’s relentless and plodding footsteps in the viola part. During the interludes between verses we imagined the young mother and father reflecting on their journey at the end of a trying day. Perhaps contemplating both the difficulty of their task as well as their love for each other, and their hope in the Savior.

Once in Royal David’s City – Alexander and Aubrey Woods, arrangers
For this hymn we envisioned a bird’s eye view of the earth shortly before the birth of Jesus Christ. As the whirling lines of the violins come together and pull apart throughout this arrangement, we wanted to represent a feeling of excitement and anticipation in the heavens and on the earth before this defining moment in our world’s history. We imagine soaring down from the heavens, and across the holy land as the event draws closer. At the finish we are left with a startlingly peaceful scene of a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

We included this title at the suggestion of a dear friend, and we are so glad we did. This traditional spiritual encapsulates the remorse we sometimes feel after making mistakes or the disappointment we feel if our actions have let down our Heavenly Father. Most importantly, it portrays the miraculous way that only Jesus Christ can heal us.

With this arrangement we wanted to attempt to capture a feeling of timelessness, of eternity. The constant drone in one of the violin parts during the first verse hearkens to a bagpipe, an instrument familiar to the region of this tune’s origin. By the constant sound of the bagpipe drone, and this beautiful melody, we aspire to represent our existence before coming to the earth, and the absence of time in heaven. The second and third verses represent our striving and experience gained through our earthly state. We hope you notice in the fourth verse that the bagpipe drone returns, and the familiar melody is stretched and pulled in places we may not expect, alluding to the subjectivity of time, or the eternal nature of our existence.
Silent Night – Alexander and Aubrey Woods, arrangers
During the introduction we imagined flickering starlight casting a glow on a beautiful manger scene. Each verse depicts the pure simplicity of this humble unaffected setting. In between verses, our interludes represent our internal emotional reaction to our Savior.
Including this piece was another suggestion from someone very dear to us. There is no other composer that has influenced the history of music more that Johann Sebastian Bach. We feel that Bach’s works are so inspired that they transcend time, and the instruments that they are written for. We are so happy to present this familiar piece from Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier on the violin and viola. In it, we feel that Bach shares a lifetime of wisdom in less than three minutes.

This stunning arrangement by David A. Zabriskie of the beloved hymn “Be Still My Soul” feels like pure heavenly love. We felt it was the perfect arrangement to end our album.

Wondrous, Holy Night, a SATB arrangement with piano accompaniment by Kathleen Holyoak, with its gentle and haunting melody, ponders the miracle of His birth:
I wonder if the angels hovered nearWhen Mary birthed the baby Jesus dear?When Mary kissed his cheek,So innocent and sweet,I wonder if she knew He’d save the world?The angels up above, declared the Father’s love.The Son of God brings peace to all mankind.Rejoice, and praise the newborn King.He came to save the world from sin.God’s promise was fulfilled.Rejoice and praise His name.Rejoice and sing and praise the King of kings.I wonder if young Joseph was afraidTo know the Son of God was His to raise?I wonder if he heard the blessed angels singAs Mary rocked Him in her arms that night?The angels up above, declared the Father’s loveOf peace, good will and tidings to man kind.With jubilance and song,Rejoice, Emmanuel;Christ the Lord, the Promised oneWas born that night, a hallowed night,That wondrous, holy night.Copyright 2013

Winter Lullaby
“Winter Lullaby” means to capture the essence of seeing and feeling something holy, wonderful, and beautiful from a child’s perspective. The simplicity and sense of quiet reverence throughout this piece, coupled with the purity of the fallen snow, illustrates the peace and joy that exists within one who is innocent, like a child. With this innocence, slowly, the transformation from a winter scene to a heavenly place occurs in a gradual and glorious display.” – Skyler Wixom, poet.
