While many of our members ask us for easier arrangements, Discover Worship also gets requests for more challenging and sophisticated pieces. [**A Cappella Christmas Suite**](http://www.discoverworship.com/store/download-products/a-cappella-christmas-suite) fits that bill.

Medium to high difficulty, this set of four a cappella arrangements spans the gamut from madrigal to modern—telling the Christmas story with lush vocals and poetic verse.  Use the familiar KJV narrations, and you’ll have a 12-minute traditional Christmas choral musical for a Christmas Eve service or caroling setting.

Here’s a quick overview:

The narrator opens with the Gospel of John’s *“He came unto his own, and his own received him not”* spoken over a cappella “ooh’s” leading into Craig Adams’ emotional setting of “**In the Bleak Midwinter**.”

Next, the iconic King James text of the heavenly host announcing Christ’s birth to shepherds sets the stage for Tom Fettke’s classic, “**The Lamb of Christmas**.”

The narrator continues with Luke’s account of the shepherds finding Mary, Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. David Huntsinger’s sacred, madrigal arrangement of “**The World’s Desire**” is nothing less than breath-taking.

The narration concludes with an invitation to joyfully proclaim God’s good news to the world. Your choir/ensemble finishes with the upbeat England/Groeneveld arrangement of “**We Wish You a Merry Christmas**,” a playful and contemporary piece.
