This soprano recitative comprises movements 14 and 15 of Handel's Messiah. It tells of the angel of God appearing to the shepherds. Very slow and rubato, with timings carefully matched to the London Philharmonic Orchestra recording.

A beautiful, soulful, modern pop ballad version of the traditional Methodist hymn Savior, Like A Shepherd Lead Us.

Eb C F
A melodic, gentle Irish arangement of the traditional hymn, The King of Love My Shpherd Is, with text by Henry W. Baker. Features Irish wistle and hand drum, accompanied by piano and bass. Trust and guidance. Four times through.
Eb G C Bb
Movement 20 in Handel's Messiah is a gentle, flowing double aria for alto and soprano. The text describes how Jesus will protect his people. The alto sings the first half in F, and then the soprano takes over in Bb for the second half. Simple and beautiful. Could be done by one singer with a large range, but really perfect to feature two.
F
A haunting and simple folk-inspired accoustic guitar and cello duet for Christmas Eve. Part of our Campfire Christmas collection. This song captures the mystery and quiet contemplation of the birth night in the manger.
