Christmas Candles

for SATB Choir (with optional children’s part)

This light-hearted holiday song was commissioned by a local community chorus, one of whose members wrote the words.

I was asked to include a part for children’s choir, and I understand everyone enjoyed taking part. It has a simple message – to chase away the gloom, and spread light and happiness to all at Christmas time!

It could be performed without a children’s choir if desired, with some of the sopranos taking the children’s part.

The accompaniment is for piano, although it can be easily adapted to include other instruments.

    A moving setting of the classic American lullaby. Good for developing singers, but also a good choice for some lovely unison singing with more advanced ensembles. The students we arranged this for absolutely loved it. We hope your choir does too.

    This beloved folk tune has been arranged with optional, muted trumpet (the timbre adds to the mood of the piece). The piano accompaniment expands the 4-part harmony of the choir to suggest more contemporary harmony with a few jazz chords. It’s not overdone, however; “Poor Wayfarin’ Stranger” is still a traditional, compelling portrait of a […]
