Christmas Candles

for SATB Choir (with optional children’s part)
by  Gordon Thornett

View the Score

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.

    One of Newfoundland’s best known folksongs, “She’s Like The Swallow” was first collected by Maud Karpeles in 1930, but certainly dates from well before that, as evidenced by the appearance of several verses in various British laments. The subject of the unfaithful lover is perhaps as old as song itself. “She’s Like the Swallow” is […]

    Sim Shalom is a solemn Hebrew prayer in D minor accompanied by piano or organ.
