Christmas with Red Scarf Music

 

Something a little different for your choir this Christmas….

Two lyrical, atmospheric Chrismas settings for SATB (a-capella)

A new unaccompanied setting of the poem by Gerard Manley Hopkins. Lyrical, close harmonies give just a hint of Broadway. A lovely calm moment for your Christmas programme.

An atmospheric new setting of the traditional 15th Century text that brings choir and audience together as one. Modal harmonies add richness, and a soprano countermelody offers opportunities for solos.

Joyful and up-tempo SATB Christmas carols for that special moment. Lively piano accompaniments and great fun to sing. Published by OUP.

“…It is an unexpected and delightful carol setting that will be equally suitable for Christmas concerts or services.”

This light-hearted arrangement of the Sussex Carol is a perfect encore.
JW Pepper’s Editors Choice in 2018, the familiar tune comes with a modern twist, a driving rock beat and innovative harmonisations.

From Ancient to Modern: an ancient text set to modern rhythms and Bob Heatlie’s modern classic – still one of the best! With sparkling, supportive piano parts, both are a pleasure to sing for SATB.

The well known tune is enhanced by playful imitation and a driving bass line in this new, 4 part arrangement.
