From the always creative team of David T. Clydesdale and Deborah Craig-Claar, creators of such best-sellers as Wondrous Gift and Repeat the Sounding Joy, comes Noel, a stunning collection of musical moments that will add seasonal excitement and spiritual power to your Christmas production.
Each song and sequence has been carefully crafted to provide your musical ministry with those special "moments" that form the heart of holiday performances. Included is a fabulous big band arrangement of carols ("Swingin' to the Sounds Medley"), a high-energy specialty number for kids ("Everything I Wanted for Christmas"), a lush medley of favorite seasonal songs in 3/4 time ("Winter Waltz Medley"), and a sparkling new opener ("'Tis the Season"). "Jingle All the Way Medley" is the ultimate audience-sing-along, flavored by an extra dose of creativity and humor. The collection also features a breathtaking new arrangement of "O Holy Night," and the debut of "The Last Noel," a powerful new song that uniquely captures the spiritual message of Christmas and is sure to become an instant classic.
Noel also includes a separate nativity candlelight service, perfectly suited for Christmas Eve, followed by an elegant choral benediction. Extensive online production notes will offer multiple ways to bring these offerings to life for churches of any size. Noel is certain to become a staple in your music library and a resource to which you'll return for many years.
