Composed by Shaun Parry. A Cappella,Christian,Christmas,Traditional. Score. 7 pages. MusicforMillions #4995115. Published by MusicforMillions (A0.935513).Written in the style of classic Christmas carols with fun, memorable melody and lyrics, this new Christmas song will quickly become a part of your caroling tradition. By and large, Christmas music is either sacred or secular -- about Jesus, Mary, the shepherds and angels or about presents and parties and mistletoe. We live them both simultaneously. This carol represents that, with the first verse being a patter of Christmas excitement and the second more lyrical focusing on the advent of the Savior. Then, just as in life, they are sung together, complimenting each other. We end in unison with a glorious and memorable refrain "Nativity mangers make friends out of strangers with peace on earth, good will to all men."
This song has the potential to become a regular part of Christmas carol canon sung by millions around the world.
* Perfect for school or church Christmas concerts.
* Great for families around the fireplace or out caroling.
* Bells/Chimes add a beautiful touch but it can also be performed with just piano and voices or even a capella. I have even enjoyed singing to guitar or ukulele.
* Written to be sung by two groups, however, there is a cut version (explained in print) that does not require splitting. It can be sung straight through without overlapping the verses.
* Some harmony parts are indicated in the vocal line. Of course you can sing the melody in unison all the way through, but there are ample opportunities to break out into fun 2,3 and (in some places) 4-part harmonies. Up to you.
