Voice & 4 SATB. Il Est Nè, Le Divin Enfant is a traditional song from France, here in an easy arrangement. It is an ancient tune and I have given it a somewhat medieval flavour, complete with drones and rather military rhythms. The range of the voice is from the D below the stave, to the E a 9th higher. A descant recorder could be substituted for the voice. Playing time is about one-and-a-half minutes. Also arranged for recorder orchestra (MHE 30608).

4 SATB. Steve says: 'Rise Up, Shepherd, And Follow is a spiritual carol, probably dating from the early 19th century. Ann and I have made an easy arrangement of it, and hope that most groups will be able to get to grips with its spirited joyfulness. Once mastered, it may be better to play it two in a bar, and speed things up a little. Playing time is about 2 minutes.'

4 SATB. Steve says: 'Of the thousands of arrangements of Away In A Manger, this may be one of the oddest. I wrote it to test recorder groups, as many people find it difficult to play a very well-known tune where the rhythms are different from what is expected, especially at a fast tempo. I had no intention of publishing this arrangement, but I conduct it every Christmas time, and people find it fun, interesting and - on those rare occasions when they get it right - satisfying! So, here it is. Playing time is about four minutes.'
