Organ Solo
A Child Is Born in Bethlehem (Puer Natus in Bethlehem)
A Child Is Born In Bethlehem for Organ Solo was commissioned by Douglas Bush for one of his European performance tours. He requested a Baroque style piece because he would be performing on Baroque organs. Their tuning requires the use of a limited harmonic palette. Sections of the piece include a straight forward chorale statement, decorated melody, a fugato section, and has a majestic ending. Even though it begins in c minor, it is in a minor.

This fast-paced arrangement is enhanced with an exciting organ accompaniment and will certainly thrill any audience. Follow the words by James Montgomery as you listen:
Angels from the realms of glory,
Sing your flight o’er all the earth;
Ye who sang creation’s glory
Now proclaim Messiah’s birth.
Come and worship, come and worship;
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
Shepherds in the fields abiding,
Watching o’er their flocks by night.
God with man is now residing,
Yonder shines the infant light.
Come and worship, come and worship;
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
Bridge: Angels, Angels, Angels from the realms of glory!
Sages, leave your contemplations,
Brighter visions beam afar.
Seek the great desire of nations,
Ye have seen His natal star.
Come and worship, come and worship
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
Saints before the altar bending,
Watching long in hope and fear.
Suddenly the Lord, descending,
In His temple shall appear.
Come and worship, come and worship;
Worship Christ the newborn King.
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
Christ the Lord, our newborn King!

Away in a Manger (SSAA – Nielsen)

Away in a Manger (SSAA – Nielsen)
One of my favorite musical inventions of the 21st century is the “mash-up.” Used mostly in popular music styles, the general idea of the technique is to take two or more songs and combine them, intertwining their musical themes and rhythmic ideas to create new musical ideas. I enjoy using this pop music technique in my works for the concert hall. In this piece, you’ll hear this used mostly in the second verse. While the sopranos sing the melody, the altos sing an altered version of the hymn “The Lord Is My Shepherd” as a counter melody. Meanwhile, the accompaniment borrows from “Joseph Dear, Oh Joseph Mine,” “The Wexford Carol,” and “Mary’s Lullaby.” Combined with the “Coventry Carol” transition between the first and second verses, there are five different songs and carols that will be heard.
While the piano accompaniment illustrates the musical borrowing, the pastoral nature of this setting is best heard when using the instrumental accompaniment. The original arrangement is scored for flute, oboe, guitar, and piano. The parts are included here, with an alternate piano/vocal score for when the instruments are being utilized. Feel free to use any C instrument that works for your choir. The guitar is optional, but I highly recommend it, as it really adds to the overall sound.
It was a joy to write this arrangement, and I hope you enjoy performing it.

I love this arrangement of “Away in a Manger” by John C. Leavitt for Two-part vocal, violin and piano. It is just lovely. I was sold on this piece the first time I heard it.
In this moving and tender setting of the favorite Christmas song Away in a Manger, there is a great feeling of love and liberation. The piano part gently flows along like water, the violin climbs and soars in quartal steps, and the two women’s voices lovingly describe the scene of the birth of Christ. Notice that the tone and tempo of the last verse change and become as still and reverent as the prayer that it recites. A simple arrangement, but one that contains a deep and moving spirit. Great for a two-part women’s chorus!

The music for this song is an Irish folk song entitled, “Slane”. David Evans combined the old Irish text written in the 6th century with the folk melody and it was first published in the 1927 edition of the Church of Scotland’s Hymnary. It is now sung in churches around the world and is widely known as “Be Thou My Vision.”
A popular arrangement of this melody has been performed by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in which they combine the folk melody Slane, with the text “Take Time to be Holy” which was written by William D. Longstaff.
I decided to include this arrangement in this Christmas book because even though it may not be considered a traditional Christmas carol, the message of a Savior in this song is clear and is certainly fitting for the Christmas Season.

Of all the traditional Hymns that refer to the Savior, I felt like this one captured the Christmas Spirit. I included this in this Christmas book because it has always reminded me of a lullaby you would sing to a baby. What better way to recognize the baby Jesus, than with this music that was written for Him.
This song is also entitled “Fairest Lord Jesus.” The music and lyrics were written by German Jesuits in the 17th Century and is known as a Silesian folk song. The version most people are familiar with was arranged by Richard S. Willis in 1850.
Behold the Lamb of God, by Kathleen Holyoak, won the first place award in the Church Music Submissions in 2002 and a standing ovation in concert. Arranged for mixed Chorus (SATB) and organ, it is a wonderful choice for the opening or closing title for a Christmas worship service or concert. Written in a Classical style for choir but enhanced with dissonance and modern rhythms in the organ accompaniment, the music builds to an exciting and glorious ending. The first verse, with words written by Lawrence Lee, is as follows:
Break forth into joy, oh Israel,
Behold the Lamb of God.
He comes to earth this joyous day
to spread His light abroad.
Angel voices raise their song,
Join in praise with Heaven’s throng.
Break forth and sing, “Hosanna,
Hosanna to our King.”

Coventry Carol – arr. Jason Tonioli
The “Coventry Carol” is a Christmas carol dating back to the 16th century. The carol was performed in the city of Coventry, England as part of a mystery play called “The Pageant of the Shearmen and Tailors.” The play depicted the Christmas story from chapter two in the Gospel of Matthew. This carol refers to the Massacre of the Innocents, in which Herod ordered all male infants under the age of two in Bethlehem to be killed. The lyrics of this haunting carol represent a mother’s lament for her doomed child. This is the only carol that has survived from this play.

“Deck the Halls” is a traditional Yuletide and New Years’ carol. The tune is Welsh, dating back to the sixteenth century, and belongs to a winter carol titled “Nos Galan”. In the eighteenth century, Mozart used the tune for a violin and piano duet. My first introduction to this song came as a kid when I saw the movie “A Christmas Story” and the Chinese Restaurant food servers entertained their guests by singing an out of tune “Fa Ra Ra Ra Ra” to the family in the movie.
I remember thinking this was the funniest thing I had ever heard as a kid.
When I started this arrangement, I wanted to come up with something that was fun and showy to play. I ended up combining the rhythm from my arrangement of Called to Serve. It seemed to fit welll, and this is now one of my favorite pieces to perform during the holidays. Have fun with it, and don’t hesitate to add a few extra notes or jazz it up even more when you play it!
Ding Dong Merrily/Angels we Have Heard on High – SATB acapella mash up of two favorite Christmas songs. This piece can be a real challenge with lots of moving lines, but it is an upbeat, lively arrangement appropriate for church settings.

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.

I Wonder as I Wander – arr. Jason Tonioli
This is a Christmas carol written by John Jacob Niles. The carol has its origins in a song fragment collected in 1933 at a fundraising meeting held by evangelicals who had been ordered out of town by the police. In the unpublished autobiography, Niles wrote:
“A girl had stepped out to the edge of the little platform attached to the automobile. She began to sing. Her clothes were unbelievably dirty and ragged, and she, too, was unwashed. Her ash-blond hair hung down in long skeins…. But, best of all, she was beautiful, and in her untutored way, she could sing. She smiled as she sang, smiled rather sadly, and sang only a single line of a song.”
Based on this girl’s song, Niles wrote this well known tune.

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

In the key of G minor and intermediate in difficulty (both for the choir and organist), this piece was born after Mr. Oakeson heard the poem, “A Birthday Gift, from a Christmas Carol,” by Christina G. Rossetti. Knowing that with a fuller textual treatment, a choral piece with great emotion and depth could be composed, he set out to write a text based on Rossetti’s powerful short poem. With the text completed, he then set it to music which assists in telling the story of what one can give to the Baby Jesus at His Birth. This is a beautiful piece for both the concert hall and for any seasonal church service.

No Place for the Savior of Men
No Place for the Savior of Men for SATB mixed voices with its gentle, lilting melody by Kathleen Holyoak, is a popular choice to for any Christmas program. The exquisitely beautiful lyrics take the listener to the scene of the nativity in a way that has never before been expressed:
No room for a mother and child;
No pillow, no blanket, no bed.
No place for the baby,
No room at the inn,
No place for the Savior of Men.
Where then shall they rest for the night?’
The street shall not welcome the King.
No place for the mother to bring forth God’s child,
No place for the Savior of Men.
The birds have their nests where they lay down their heads.
The deer have their meadows to rest.
The moon sleeps on clouds that are softer than down
But in small Bethlehem, no room is yet found.
The fish have their ponds and the rivers and seas;
The lions their dens and the insects their leaves.
The stars know the place where they’re tucked in the sky
But the Savior has no place to lie.
A stable, a manger, a stall;
Rough straw where she’ll cradle His head.
Where beasts gently offer the warmth of their breath
And give place for the baby to rest.
So sleep little baby, Savior Divine.
Dream on while God’s angels descend.
A place for the baby, the Savior of men,
One place, one place found in old Bethlehem.

No Room Tonite
Carrie Wrigley
SATB, piano
No Room Tonite
No Room Tonite
Poignant and heartfelt, this original Christmas song considers the irony of the King of Kings finding “no room” in the world, even in the first minutes of his mortal life. It gently describes the drama of his young mother giving birth alone in a cold dark stable, surrounded by humble animals, because there was “no room” elsewhere.
The song invites consideration – In the midst of our busy lives, filled with so many competing priorities, do we sometimes leave “no room” for the Savior? Or do we strive to invite Him in – notwithstanding the humble and imperfect condition of our hearts?

This song is also known as “O Tannenbaum”. It is of German origin. The most well known version was written in 1824 by Leigzig organist, teacher and composer Ernst Anschütz. The melody is an old folk tune. The first known “Tannenbaum” song lyrics date back to 1550.
O Come All Ye Faithful just seemed to fit well with O Christmas Tree. The original tune name is “Adeste Fideles” and is attributed to John Frances Wade. It is one of my favorite hymn tunes. This is a great intermediate piece for those learning to play piano.

Try to capture a sad yet hopeful feeling of a person who is waiting to be delivered from hard times. Just as in ancient times when people waited for the Savior, individuals are struggling to survive today and hoping for something or someone to help them. This is a song of hope for deliverance from difficult times.

Praise to our Father, Elohim.
Ringing chords in tune for Him,

Holy child of royal birth,
the Savior’s come, He’s come to earth!
He left His heavenly home for awhile;
of Him we extol and testify!
What are blessings He shall bring?
Grace and mercy, love without end.
May we raise a voice to Him,
on this Christmas morning.
What are the truths He shall bring?
Seek Him in the simplest things!
Let’s keep our promises to Him,
on this Christmas morning.
Holy child of royal birth,
the Savior’s come, He’s come to earth!
He left His heavenly home for awhile;
of Him we extol and testify!
Frankincense, gold and myrrh
were gifts for Him from travel’rs afar.
I give my heart, mind and strength,
on this Christmas morning.
Bethlehem brought forth my King,
Master giver of everything.
Let us give glory back to Him,
On this Christmas, joyous Christmas,
On this Christmas, Christmas morn!

“One Star,” a lovely SATB choral arrangement with optional violin and cello obbligatos, is based upon the 17th Century carol, “The First Noel.”This is a wonderful Christmas title appropriate for any Christmas meeting or devotional and certainly one to include in your choral library.Words by Gary Croxall beautifully describe the night that one star lit the way to the place of Christ’s birth:
One star to light the Christmas way;
a manger filled with straw and hay,
and starlight fell upon His face
as shepherds hastened to the place.
His breath was sweet as April air,
the little baby pure and fair
brought hope and love and peace sublime,
when He was born at Christmas time.
Noel, Noel. Sing we Noel.
Born is the King of Israel.
As angels sang above a stall
of peace on earth, good will to all;
God’s little baby fell asleep,
and Mary kissed Him on His cheek.
He slept among the stable beasts,
while wise men journeyed from the East
To honor Him and give Him laud,
the newborn King, the Son of God.
Noel, noel. One star’s light . . . burning bright.
Noel, noel! Noel, noel! Born is the King.
Born is the King of Israel, behold His star!
Noel, Noel. One star, Noel!

This is one of the all time classic Christmas songs. It was first performed with a guitar accompaniment in the Church of St. Nicholas in Oberndorf, Austria on December 24, 1818. The text was written by priest Father Joseph Mohr and the melody was composed by Franz Gruber.
The song was also sung simultaneously in French, English and German by troops during the Christmas truce of 1914, a song that soldiers on both sides of the front line knew.
It’s interesting how music has the ability to bring different cultures together and break down barriers of misunderstanding that in some cases have existed over long periods of time.

Son of the Highest
Son of the Highest for SATB Choir with violin obbligato
Son of the Highest, for SATB choir with violin obbligato by Kathleen Holyoak, is a wonderful choice for any Christmas service. It presents a fresh approach to the Virgin Mary’s experience when the angel, Gabriel, delivered the message that she was chosen by God to give birth to His Son. Mary, overwhelmed and realizing she was fore-ordained to be the Mother of Jesus, humbly accepted the great responsibility, having faith that she and Joseph would raise the Son of God.
The song begins with a gentle, rocking melody and builds to a powerful refrain and exciting ending. Follow the words as you listen:
To Mary, blessed Mary, favored of the Lord,
Came an angel on errand as prophets had foretold.
Mary in tears fell to her knees.
Who would believe her in all of Galilee?
He said she’d conceive and bear a special Son.
His name would be Jesus, the Father’s chosen One.
How could this be for a virgin was she?
The angel assured that with God, nothing is impossible.
He shall be called, Son of the Highest, Alleluia!
The Father shall give Him throne
And He shall reign. Alleluia!
Glory be to Jesus, the Messiah, the Holy One.
And what of dear Joseph, so loyal and true?
The Spirit bore witness he’d know his calling too;
To be not afraid but fully believe
With calm reassurance they’d raise the Son of God.
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Jesus Christ shall reign over the House of David
And of His kingdom there shall be, shall be no end.
Praise the Son of God. Alleluia!
Full of grace and truth.
The Savior, the Redeemer,
And the Only Begotten Son.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

The Gift
Words: GARY CROXALL Music: KATHLEEN HOLYOAK
God’s Christmas gift was never wrapped
And tied up with a bow.
It wasn’t purchased in a shop
Nor found within a store.
It was a simple gift, indeed,
Yet sacred and sublime.
It was a gift of love, a gift of life
Of hope and peace divine.
Search out the gift, embrace it tenderly.
Share the gift that God has given,
His gift to you and me.
God gave no gold, no frankincense;
He gave no amber myrrh.
The Father gave to all mankind,
A baby fair and pure.
He gave His Son to you and me,
It was our Savior, Jesus Christ.
He is the gift, our Christmas gift,
Born that holy night.
Search out the gift, embrace it tenderly.
Share the gift that God has given;
His gift to you,
His Christmas gift,
His gift to you and me.

We Three Kings

Vocal Solo
We Three Kings
This unusual arrangement of one of the most beloved carols, “We three Kings,” arranged by Kathleen Holyoak, evokes mysterious images of the three Magi as they traveled from the East. The underlying rhythmic motive in the bass accompaniment is the heartbeat of the arrangement and represents the motion of the camels and the jingle of camel bells as they saunter slowly through the desert in search of the Christ child in Jerusalem. (Note: Cameleers often put bells on camels at night to prevent them from getting lost.)
“We Three Kings” remains one of the most frequently sung Christmas carols today. This arrangement is suitable for a soloist or a small group singing in unison.

Wondrous Night
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
