Grazioso


Sherman, A., Red River Music

Joy of Christmas


Various, arr. Joy, Michael W., Red River Music

On the surface, this is a medley of "Joy to the World" and "How Great Our Joy". However, in addition to these two main carols, the inspiration for the opening fanfare, the interludes, and the coda comes from other carols whose texts use the word "joy."

Song of Peace


Sherman, A., Red River Music

The composer of this original work writes "Song of Peace is a reflection of the way the world has treated peace almost from the beginning of time." The tune DONA NOBIS PACEM is given a rather harsh, angular treatment, but out of the cacophony comes  a much more harmonious setting, signifying our eternal hope that peace will come one day for all of humankind.
