HALLELUJAH!From G. F. Handel’s MESSIAHarranged for Young Voicesby Paul Jennings

We all know the thrill ofsinging this great work with a fullorchestra – the power, the glory,the chills up your spine. But theoriginal version isn’t exactlydesigned for children’s voices.That’s why we have created a newsetting of this classic especiallydeveloped for young choirs. It is ina lower key, and is arranged for twotreble voices.

As you would expect, we arealso providing a superb recordingfeaturing full orchestra with both afull performance and just theaccompaniment. There are alsospecial rehearsal tracks to helpeach part learn the music.

“For Unto Us A Child Is Born...”

A Special Prologue ForExtra Drama! To add a specialtouch to your performances, wehave also added a short, special

prologue with an air of anticipation and an optional narration with text from Isaiah 9:6.The recording is designed so that you can perform the work with the prologue or with theoriginal opening to the work.

In addition to our traditional Performance Kit, you can also order this work indownloadable form. And while the kit comes with a reproducible Singer’s Part, we also offeryou pre-printed parts to save you time at the printer or photocopier.

The downloadable edition gives you the same pages and recordings, but in the form ofPDFs and MP3s.

With this product, for the first time, we’re offering the score and instrumental parts forthe arrangement heard on the recording. This way, if you have a community orchestra, or afairly good school orchestra, you can perform the work live. We do not believe that thisarrangement is appropriate for most elementary school beginning orchestras, however. Theorchestration is available in downloadable form as a PDF.

Be sure to listen to excerpts of this wonderful arrangement on our web site:GoldenRuleMusic.com

HARMONY For 3-Part Mixed or Unison Voicesby Teresa Jennings

This richly beautiful song is based on JohannPachelbel’s famous chord progression for his Canon InD. There are variations, however, from the original,and the actual melody and countermelodies are neverused. Instead, there is an original melody which tellsthe story of a little baby “who loved with all hisheart.” Right off the bat, you could read a sacredtheme into this text, even though it never specifiesanything sacred.

This song is very special to us, and over the yearsit has remained a favorite to us and to the manythousands of schools and churches who have used it.

The amazing Performance/Accompanimentrecordings are excellent resources on this song forjust listening. The full version includes the children’svoices and could be used as a teaching reference. It isalso a joy to listen to for the sheer pleasure of it. The

accompaniment track reveals the orchestration more clearly because there are no children’svoices on it. Enjoy the powerful orchestration and the big ending.

This special song works for a wide variety of ensembles, and would make a great way tocombine groups capable of performing unison, 2-Part, and 3-Part mixed arrangements.Listen to the excerpt on our web site and you will see the potential.

so profound. In our ongoing efforts to help young people deal with a worldfull of difficulties, we are offering this gentle and lovely song. Most of us arefamiliar with the Golden Rule, but how many of us find it easy to actually

JESUS LOVES ME arr. John Riggio You’ve got to hear this exciting new arrangement!

Most of us have heard and sung this tune since we werekids, but you’ve never heard it like this. The heart ofthe arrangement is a foot-tapping rock style with anintriguing new harmonic treatment. The melody andlyrics are traditional, so it can be performed with evenyour youngest singers.

Actually, the setting has two parts, a “prelude”that is intended for a solo voice, then the bouncyversion of the tune, complete with a happy “la”melody for the intro and a final interlude. Therecording is broken into two parts so that you can justdo the tune by itself or in a more theatrical versionwith the simple prelude and then the tune itself.

It’s a natural for a performance – picture one of your youngest doing the sweetintroduction, with your children’s choir moving in during the opening of the full song. Your congregation will love it. And there will be a lot of energy because this is just plain funto sing!

GET KIDS SINGING FAVORITE HYMNS arr. Karl Hitzemann, Paul Jennings, and Mike Wilson

We all have favorite hymns... hymns thathave meant special things to us as weperformed them over the years. For this newcollection, we asked three of our mostcreative arrangers to pick favorite hymns andset them in contemporary settings thatmaintain the essentials of the hymn whileadding new musical excitement to thearrangement and orchestration. We arepleased with the outcome and invite you tolisten to the excerpts of these songs online.

This valuable resource includes:• All Hail The Power Of Jesus’ Name -

When you first hear this striking new setting,your first thought might be “Riverdance.” It is an energetic 4/4 with an infectious 12/8underpinning for orchestra.

• Amazing Grace - We think that thisfine old hymn deserves the powerful settingyou will find here. Opening with

beautiful, entwining string counterpoint, it leads to rich chords under the choir. • Be Thou My Vision - Rooted in a strong pianistic adaptation, this favorite hymn

swells into a strong, rhythmic arrangement that will stay with you for a long time.• Fairest Lord Jesus - We have heard many settings of this old hymn, but this setting is

unique, with a simple Appalachian accompaniment, spiced with just the right instrumentsincluding a hammered dulcimer, and a chorus of guitars. It’s just right.

• Come, Thou Fount Of Every Blessing - Enjoy this plaintive arrangement that states thesong simply, over an elegant tapestry of piano, strings, and guitar. It is topped off with alovely violin solo over the final verse.

• The Solid Rock - This striking setting of the great old hymn is sort of “rock in 3.”It builds from an expectant intro, full of tight harmonies in the accompaniment of rhythmsection and strings. By the chorus, it is a joyous forte with rock guitar and moving strings.Coming out of the second verse there is a big ending with an optional second part, anda big “Amen” to close it.FH-116G Get Kids Singing Favorite Hymns Performance Kit with CD........................... 34.95
