New repertoire for Advent and Christmas<br />
James Whitbourn<br />
Christmas Welcome<br />
A celebratory carol in a lilting 12/8 metre,<br />
Christmas Welcome sets a joyful 15th-century<br />
text by John the Blind Audelay. Whitbourn<br />
employs textural contrasts and call-andresponse<br />
style pairings of voices to great effect,<br />
as well as a characterful and soloistic organ<br />
part.<br />

Mack Wilberg<br />
Child of Light<br />
This effervescent setting of two texts by David<br />
Warner—one for Christmas, one for general<br />
worship—was included on the Tabernacle<br />
Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square’s recent<br />
release, ‘Tree of Life’. Over a shimmering,<br />
festive accompaniment, the melody is passed<br />
between voice parts, and the dynamic<br />
contrasts and detailed articulation enable<br />
singers to present an engaging characterization.<br />
