Review:
This gentle new original Advent/Christmas carol, "Miracle Child", reverently examines the coming of the Christ Child from different points of view: prophets ("They told a fateful story: Innocence to Glory"), the angel, Mary, the shepherds, the Magi, and us. The lovely melody covers a comfortable singing range of one octave C to C plus the D above and will touch many hearts with its thoughtful text. Perfect for Advent services, Christmas Eve celebrations, Songs & Carols programs or Christmas concerts.
Miracle Child-1 (
RE8723) is a level 3, stand-alone performance score for full 3-5 octave bell choir which can also accompany any or all performance options in RE7512R. A vocal song sheet and a Bell Tree score are included in this folio, with permission to reproduce these pages for your soloists.
Miracle Child-2 (
RE7512R) is a reproducible folio including all these compatible options:
-- Unison lyrics for soloist or congregational singing (with 2 bulletin inserts: one square, one narrow)
-- Full piano accompaniment (Level Intermediate) – this can also stand alone as a piano solo
-- Bell Tree Obbligato score (which plays throughout) (Level Easy, C6-C7) - adding a bright, simple counterpoint
-- L1 score for 2-5 octaves hand chimes or handbells, a chordal accompaniment
The audio clip of "Miracle Child – 2" is by Gloria Dei Ringers, Muhlenberg ELCA, Kathleen Wissinger, director (Christmas Eve, 2019) with Lori Britt singing and Sandy Harbin on bell tree.
