New Christmas music

CHGiffen

This is nothing short of amazing! What other new or newly available music for the Christmas season have you come across that people here should learn about?

Entrai, pastores, entrai (trad. Portuguese adapted by G. W. Brown)

This must be great fun to sing.

My oh my oh my oh my! Bravo. Thanks, Chuck. Brown is onto something here. Metered choral/polyphony that "seems" like chant. Thrilling and mystical at once.

CHGiffen

I agree, Julie & Charlie. It really took my breath away. I'm hoping the Ensemble Singers here will do it next year.

Of course, I want them to do Leslie Bassett's "Collect" for chorus and electronic tape, too ... just got the music and CD of the tape part for that. It's not Christmas music, but rather a prayer for peace ... stunning.

That's really wonderful. Thank you.

This was new to me, at least until I sang it with the Phipps Festival Chorus in last weekend's concerts.

This also was on the Phipps Festival Chorus concerts, here sung (as with the Phipps) accompanied by a celesta:
