Redeemer Of Israel (Holyoak – SATB, piano and organ)
Redeemer of Israel, for mixed voices (SATB) with piano and organ accompaniment, is one of Kathleen Holyoaks’ most popular hymn arrangements.
The choral parts are easy while the fast-moving piano and organ accompaniments enhance, add brilliance, and make it especially exciting to perform!
Verse 3, “How long we have wandered as strangers in sin, and cried in the desert for thee,” mysteriously shifts into a minor key, adding an element of surprise then takes this majestic hymn to a new level as it concludes with an exciting and powerful ending. Especially suited for larger choirs for congregational services and concerts, this is a “keeper”.

The first page of the music dedicates the arrangement to John Michael Yates, who was a member in David’s congregation. He approached David with a commission proposal to arrange three hymns, one of which was “The Lord My Pasture Will Prepare,” to be performed at John’s funeral service. David took on the project gladly, but had to laugh a little when John assured him that the funeral would probably not take place for many years to come. John is in perfect health.
“The Lord My Pasture will Prepare” is beautifully arranged for SATB Choir with piano accompaniment and violin descant.

“Oh, he could have come in a chariot that blazed across the sky,
Like a bold and mighty warrior, lifting his sword up high;
Or he could have come in luxury, surrounded by lands and gold;
But here he lies in a stable bed, sleeping in the cold.”

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 duet, or a two-part women’s chorus!

Beautiful Savior – arr. Jason Tonioli
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.
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.

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!

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.

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.

Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough,
And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide.
Now, of my threescore years and ten,
Twenty will not come again,
And take from seventy springs a score,
It only leaves me fifty more.
And since to look at things in bloom
Fifty springs are little room,
About the woodlands I will go
To see the cherry hung with snow.

When I Think of You
When I Think of You – Daniel Carter, composer
Vocal solo for medium range voice and piano expressing gratitude for parents from a perspective of becoming one. Especially suitable for Mother’s and Father’s Day. Composer Daniel Carter wrote this song after a conversation with his daughter who said to him on his birthday, “I just want you to know I get it. I understand now what it means to be a parent, to worry, to love, to make everything in your life about your children. And I can’t thank you and love you enough for what you’ve done.”
When I was just a child you sat and read to me,
And told me I could do most anything,
Told me be anything that my heart could dream.
It made me smile.
And so I grew and learned, and as I claimed my life,
My stubborn will divided you and I,
And all those words we said were sometimes filled with strife,
And we would cry.
Sunny days could turn to rainy days
When I would storm around when I didn’t get my way.
Sunny days along with rainy days
Can give new meaning to our lives and reason for our ways.
The little notes you wrote that brought those happy smiles,
The pranks you pulled denying all the while,
The endless times that I thought I knew better than you,
How wrong I…
I understand now the sacrifice you made,
How hard it was to do all of the things you did.
I understand now how easy hurt is dealt,
How slow the healing till no more sting is felt.
And when I think of you, I think of sunny days,
The kind that come when rain has gone away,
The kind like when you kissed my tears away,
Those days I…
I understand now how blessed and loved I am.
Those little words we say,
So overused but they are true,
Those little words—I love you.

The entire hymn overflows with pleading emotion giving ample opportunity for an expressive arrangement for the keyboard. I found this to be challenging to bring forth my need for Him every hour.

How Can I Keep from Singing (Vocal Solo – Carter)
How Can I Keep from Singing (Vocal Solo) – Dan Carter, arranger
A gentle, building, inspiring setting of Robert Lowry’s beloved hymn, arranged by Daniel Carter. Flute obbligato creates a mood of birds singing with the soloist. Gently building to an inspiring ending with a simple descant on the last verse.
My life flows on in endless song;
Above earth’s lamentation,
I hear the sweet, tho’ far-off hymn
That hails a new creation;
Thro’ all the tumult and the strife
I hear the music ringing;
It finds an echo in my soul—
How can I keep from singing?
What tho’ my joys and comforts die?
The Lord my Saviour liveth;
What tho’ the darkness gather round?
Songs in the night he giveth.
No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that refuge clinging;
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth,
How can I keep from singing?
I lift my eyes; the cloud grows thin;
I see the blue above it;
And day by day this pathway smooths,
Since first I learned to love it,
The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart,
A fountain ever springing;
All things are mine since I am his—
How can I keep from singing?

Serenity – Daniel Carter, composer
Gentle, new age/contemporary piano solo, “Serenity” was composed decades ago by Daniel Carter. It is available at holysheetmusic.com for the first time! Daniel described the circumstances that inspired the music. He writes, “Many years ago, while visiting my parents in rural Idaho, dawning light streamed through the window. As I gazed into the pastures and fields, and saw the expansive, endless sky, there was a complete sense of serenity. Later that day I composed the music.”
