God’s Perfect Sign
SDG 92-100 $1.35
Mixed Chorus, Soprano Solo, Keyboard
3’ 12 pgs.

The stars must have shined their brightest that night when the angels sang. One star became God’s Perfect Sign to guide the Wise Men to Jesus. This contemporary jazz ballad setting gives us a twentieth century picture of the star that guided the three travelers. Almeda Berkey’s beautiful text draws us personally closer as it pleads, “Now please shine upon our eyes tonight and guide us to the God of Light.”

Lullaby–baby Jesus, Asleep In My Arms
SDG 87-104 $1.40
Mixed Chorus, Alto Solo, Treble Voice Solo, Keyboard 4’ 12 pgs.

We came to look for the Baby Jesus in Bethlehem, and we sang this Lullaby to Him: “Baby Jesus, Asleep in My Arms. May I rock the child divine and wrap Him in this love of mine? Little Baby Jesus, I come to you.”

Magnificat
SDG 87-101 $1.50
Mixed Chorus, Keyboard 3.5’ 16 pgs.

The text of the Magnificat, “My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,” has been set by master composers through the ages. The fascination with this text may lie with the number of scriptures (ten) given to Mary’s response. It is a marvelous song of praise to God. Because of its beauty, parts of the Latin scriptures are interspersed within the Magnificat.

The Glory Of His Majesty A Christmas Cantata SDGM 91-104 $9.95 Mixed Chorus, SATB and Treble Solos, Piano, Organ, Synthesizer hard cover 37’ 120 pgs. The Glory of His Majesty is an eclectic mixture of many different musical styles and textures. In this work, we experience the angularity of the baroque, jazz of the twentieth century, as well as dissonance associated with the avant garde. The simplicity of a child’s solo is juxtaposed with the robust sound of a male quartet, and the suggestion of Gregorian chant is also heard. Separate organ and synthesizer books and conductor’s full score are available for purchase. Also available for chorus and orchestra. Contact Masters Music for rental or purchase information.

Chant-like, in 7/8, it begins with a baritone solo sung in a recitative style and moves into a noble expression of Isaiah’s prophecy of a future king. The choral setting allows excitement, sensitivity, and beautiful song. The power of emotion and vocal interpretation surges and swells with an overwhelming sense of worship and exaltation.
