Weihnachtslieder. Chorbuch gleichstimmig
70 arrangements of Christmas carols for choirs with two to four Soprano and alto voices, mainly with piano accompaniment. The repertoire of this choral collection ranges from the Baroque via the Romantic era to modern choral music. Two third of the arrangements are for Coro SSA and piano, about one third for Coro SSAA a cappella.
New settings of well-known Christmas songs have been especially composed for this collection. Many renowned composers contributed to this choral collection (Ludwig Böhme, Jürgen Essl, Bobbi Fischer, Clytus Gottwald, John Høybye, Grayston Ives, Tilman Jäger, Fredo Jung, Ko Matsushita, Colin Mawby, York Sommer, Józef "Ówider, Alan Wilson). Many of the contemporary arrangements draw on jazz and swing styles, or on pop music. The repertoire is suitable for Advent, Christmas, the New Year and Epiphany.
Recordings of nearly all the movements can be found on the CD Noël Nouvelet featuring the Ulmer Spatzen Chor (Carus 2.135/99) as well as on all major streaming platforms.
In cooperation with Landesakademie für die musizierenden Jugend in Baden-Württemberg, Ochsenhausen.

Reviews
...Die Sätze sind mindestens zwei- bis maximal vierstimmig und niemals anspruchslos oder gar billig. Eine hervorragende Sammlung für einen fähigen Jugend- oder Frauenchor.
Gabriel Dessauer, Kirchenmusik im Bistum Limburg, 1/2015
...Die beiliegende CD ... kann als Einstudierungshilfe für nebenberufliche Kirchenmusiker oder als „Appetizer” in der Chorprobe eingesetzt werden.
Dr. Ludger Stühlmeyer, Kirchenmusik im Erzbistum Bamberg, Dezember 2014
...Dieser neue Liederband ist wirklich eine Schatztruhe voller Entdeckungen für jeden etwas ambitionierten Frauen- oder Mädchenchor!
Sabine Wüsthoff, Neue Chorzeit, 11.2013
...Erfreulich ist, dass auch einige Gesänge bzw. Arrangements aus anderen Traditionen (samt Textübersetzungen) aufgenommen wurden.
Singende Kirche, Heft 4/2013
