Præludium Noël
RBM-107
SATB, Piano
$7.95
c.10:00
A collection primarily of Old English carols, arranged for SATB chorus and full orchestra (rental only) in a manner particularly suited for heavier, more church-oriented programs. The arrangement contains the following material:

This medley has been used to good effect with organ alone, the accompanist playing the orchestral reduction from the choral score.

Exultate Justi
RBM-108
SATB, Piano
$3.50
c.5:00
A relatively new work, similar in character to the Gloria setting listed above. This work is a multi-metric, exuberant setting of the traditional, liturgical Latin text, originally written for piano and SATB chorus and subsequently scored for full orchestra. (Orchestration is available on a rental-only basis.) This selection has been used to good effect, not only on Holiday concerts but as a stylistic teaching piece for young singers.

SATB, Piano
$8.35
c.20:00
A 10-movement cantata for SATB soloists, SATB chorus and orchestra (full or reduced - both available on a rental-only basis) which tells the Nativity story in a neo-baroque musical style. The textural structure of the piece is paraphrased by the composer from the Holy Scriptures and outlines a narrative shape similar to the famous setting of the Christmas story by Heinrich Schütz. The reduced orchestration for this piece calls for a minimum of 14 players, with the option for increased string strength as resources permit.

Sing We Now of Christmas
RBM-113
SATB, Piano
$3.95
c.4-7:00 depending on choice of repeated sections
A dignified audience sing-along containing the following carols:

SATB choral scores for this medley are available as well as a single-line "lead sheet" which may be duplicated in concert programs or, if desired, sung by unison chorus. The arrangement contains two verses of each carol and the length of the piece may be adjusted by manipulation of first and second endings. In addition, there are provisions for omitting Joy to the World entirely from the running order.

Personent Hodie
RBM-005
SATB, Piano
$1.45
c.4:00
A setting of the ancient Latin melody by the eminent teacher and conductor Lara G. Hoggard. Originally written for SATB chorus, organ and four trumpets with percussion, a full orchestration (with mandatory organ) has also been prepared; both instrumental support packages are available for purchase. The work is designed to be used as a processional for chorus with instrumental accompaniment; detailed instructions for staging the work in this fashion are available on request from ECS.
