Carols For Young Voices

From Plank Road Publishing

Christmas Traditions For A New Generation

Arranged by Teresa and Paul Jennings, and John Riggio

For years, teachers have been asking us to have our writers do a set of carols arranged and orchestrated with the same richness and power we bring to so many of our stage projects and magazines. With that request in mind, we have created this all-new collection full of special settings of some of our favorites.

You will find distinctive arrangements and orchestrations, and the same state-of-the-art recordings you have come to expect from us. This new collection features:

• Angels From The Realms Of Glory - Powerful and full of rich, brassy textures, this new arrangement is a great performance opener for any holiday concert.
• What Child Is This? - Teresa Jennings has molded this beautiful favorite into a setting that will make young choirs sound their best. Be sure to hear an excerpt of this one below.
• Good King Wenceslas - This clever new arrangement builds and evolves as an orchestral concert march, soaring through a key change to a forceful finale. What a great way to make a young choir sound its best!
• The Wexford Carol - John Riggio puts his uniquely modern stamp on this lyrical old carol, transforming it into anthem rock with just a touch of Celtic seasoning.
• O Come, O Come, Emmanuel - Haunting and richly modal, this ancient carol finds new life in this striking arrangement by Paul Jennings.
• God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen - If you have performed any of John's Celtic dance-style settings, you know just how powerful they can be. Listen to this one and you will see how much excitement it will bring to your choir's performances.

Be sure to hear the excerpts of these songs below.
