  Four Canticles for the Christmas Season

  “Four Canticles for the Christmas Season” is a collaboration between HolySheetMusic and Lorenz Publishing.   We are delighted to present to you this wonderful Christmas Piece!

  About the Piece:

  Bobette Olson, while a senior at Fairborn Baker High School in Fairborn, Ohio, wrote the lovely text which she asked me to set to music.  While an undergraduate voice and choral education major at CCM (University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music) I set about working the thematic ideas for the text.  At the time, I was singing tenor as part of the CCM Chamber Singers under the direction of Elmer Thomas, a protege of Robert Shaw.  The style is clearly influenced by the acappella work that we were doing at CCM at that time, along with some recording that I did with the Whikehart Chorale, under the direction of Lewis Whikehart.  This setting by the St. Martin’s Chamber Choir ideally captures most of the nuance of each piece as originally conceived.

  The Recording:

  “Four Canticles for the Christmas Season” was recorded December 22, 2007 for Christmas with St. Martin’s Chamber Choir at St. Elizabeth’s Church in Denver, Colorado; Timothy J. Krueger, Artistic Director, Ace Edwards, conductor for this particular concert piece.
