A Christmas Cantata for Choir, Narrator, Soloists and Flute (optional); and organ and congregation.

This program is designed to be very easy for choirs to learn, though you'll need a good pianist. The program lasts 25-30 minutes. 

All solos may be assigned to sections of the choir if desired.  All sectional passages may be assigned to soloists if desired.  The narration for this program consists entirely excerpts from Matthew 1 and Luke 2, KJV.   Feel free to substitute from other scriptural versions or to use a simple retelling.

Very few dynamic markings are included for the interludes, or for the final number with the congregation, as the dynamics for these passages will be determined by your acoustics, amplification, choir/congregation size, etc.

Two optional obbligatos for flute are included. These might also be performed easily on violin, or other C instrument.

For the "Silent Night" choir/congregation finale, the congregation sings the standard hymn version (1985 LDS Hymns #204). The choir and organ use the score included.

The program includes the following selections:

Silent Night (Interlude 1)
Peace, Peace, Peace
Silent Night (Interlude 2)
As Shepherds Kept Their Lonely Vigil
Silent Night (Interlude 3)
Jesus, Lord, at Thy Birth
Silent Night

A few of the songs from the cantata have audio demos available. They are listed below. These will give you a general idea of how the songs sound, but the interpretations may differ a bit from the printed scores:
