Silent, Holy Night
By Donna Anderle , Mark Friedman , Janet Vogt
To help kids stay focused on the real reason for Christmas, Mark and Janet have put together a collection of music and readings that children will love to perform.
"Glory to God on High" is a joyful retelling of Jesus' birth in a simple call and response style. It would be great in the context of a children's Christmas liturgy or as part of a Christmas choral program.
Ideal for the presentation of the gifts, "Gifts for a King" contains a simple-to-sing melody and a child-like message of giving one's self and faith to God rather than to riches or gold.
As in the traditional carol, "Silent, Holy Night" describes in gentle fashion the manger scene. This meditative version would be a beautiful addition to Midnight Mass or as part of a Christmas cantata.
In addition to songs written especially for kids, Silent, Holy Night includes scripture-based readings, detailed performance notes, handy chord charts and a helpful set of indexes—everything you need for a first-class children's program or liturgical celebration. Plus, the choreography book, created by Donna Anderle, allows you to further enhance your presentation with dance and movement.
