A dramatic orchestral backing track to the famous Christmas carol. Plenty of ringing bells and chimes create a shimmering Christmas spirit. Three verses with short interludes between then.
C G Eb
A traditional solo piano accompaniment to the classic gospel hymn. Great for either a soloist or choir, and the verses have built-in call and response sections too. The pianist plays stride left hand during the choruses, often in a ragtime style.
C Eb G
A front-porch style bluegrass version of this traditional gospel tune, featuring banjo, guitar, upright bass, fiddle, and drums. Fiddle introduction, then five choruses and four verses.
F Ab C
Gonoud's gentle setting of the Ave Maria over Bach's prelude #1 in C, arranged here for piano, organ, and cello. The melody repeats twice in a beautiful accompaniment for any solo singer.
F C Ab
A contemporary arrangement of this Easter hymn, featuring guitars, organ, piano, bass, and drums. Direct, easy-to-understand lyrics and an easy melody to sing make this a great choice for a large Easter service.
D A F
A gentle orchestral arrangement of this classic Lent hymn. Soft strings, woodwinds, and horns anchor the simple melody and make it easy to sing.
F D A
A gentle acoustic version of the traditional Christmas carol, with piano, guitar, and solo strings. Easy to sing, perfect for children or adults. Six verses.
D F C
A majestic, triumphant aria for bass, featuring solo trumpet and full orchestral accompaniment. Movement 48 of Handel's Messiah, it speaks of the end of the world: how the dead will be raised, and the mortal will become immortal. Quite lengthy, as practically the entire four-minute aria is repeated after a short interlude.
D
Movement 47 of Handel's Messiah is a bass recitative that serves as a noble and grand introduction to the bass aria "The Trumpet Shall Sound".
D
A dramatic SATB chorus, movement 46 of Handel's Messiah. Extremely slow and quiet sections describing death alternate with loud, upbeat sections describing resurrection. For this recording, organ quietly doubles the vocal parts in the a capella sections.
