F A Db E
A brief tenor recitative, accompanied by harpsichord and strings. Movement 42 of Handel's Messiah, this functions as a short introduction to the tenor aria "Thou Shalt Break Them".
E
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 country version of the classic hymn, with acoustic guitar, upright bass, piano, dobro, and drumset.
F A Eb
A bounding, joyous SATB chorus, movement 26 of Handel's Messiah. Ends with a slow quiet coda. Orchestral direction follows the London Philharmonic recording.

A full-blown fugue for SATB chorus, in grand Renaissance style. Handel doubles all the choral parts clearly in the orchestra, making this an easy fugue to sing. Movement 25 of the Messiah.
Fm
A beautiful arrangement of the classic carol for full orchestra. Straightforward tempos make this easy to sing for children and adults. Lots of celeste, harp, piano, glockenspiel, and pizzicato strings give it a light Christmas tone.
C Eb A
A grand orchestral arrangement of the Ode to Joy, the famous melody from the finale of Beethoven's 9th symphony. Begins intimately, with guitar and solo cello, and quickly opens to full orchestra. Makes a perfect congregational worship song for themes of happiness and thanksgiving.
