From the Editor:
JITTERS sits beside me as I write Editor letters and Alfreds monthly e-blasts.
NoJitters is not a cat, though I sorta like that name for a cat.
Jitters come because I know my limitations. I know I have a rare gift for mistakes. There is a misprint in this promo
somewherebut where? When you find it, rest assured that many talented people at Alfred did everything they
could to stop it from happening, but its in heresomewhere. In the same way as it does with music misprints, the
responsibility buck stops with me.
Thats OK. That doesnt mean Im at peace with falling short of the mark. Im not. I fight it. I keep trying, but Im human
and imperfection comes naturally.
Thank goodness, Gods Godness means I dont have to be perfect. Knowing me much better than I know myself, God
loves me anyway. That fact makes my soul grin.
God so loved us that knowing every trial ahead, seeing every flaw there is to see about usGod sent that blameless
Baby anyway.
So we give thanks, bow down, worship, and serve. One way we live our call to worship is through music. It humbles me
to share with you new music from this 2011 Alfred Sacred Choral release.
Before you do anything else, turn to page 16. Look at God Is With Us. It is a high point in the lifes work of one the most
gifted arrangers, composers, and dedicated God-servants I knowTom Fettke. Do not miss the chance to share this
Christmas gift with others.
Now go back to page 5 and start exploring the list of rich anthems. Works from writers like Cindy Berry, Robert Sterling,
Mary McDonald, Joel Raney, Tom Fettke, Ruth Elaine Schram, and Lloyd Larson. Discover gems from composers such as
Thomas Grassi and David Waggoner. Along the way, check out a dear friend, new to AlfredMr. Ken Medema.
Find a fresh new choral series for church and civic useBelwin Choral.
These anthems suit every worship style and every taste. They include spiritually moving piecesInfinite and
Everlasting, for instanceand anthems with a sound message but that are fun to sing, toolisten to Walk Like Jesus
and Search Me, Lord.
Ive seen this music, prayed about it and lived with it. I know it very well. I envy you the joy of meeting it for the first time.
God bless and keep you.
Im gonna go find a cat named Jitters.
Your servant in Christ,
Sheldon Curry

Christmas Musicals
God Is With Us is a celebration of a miracle: the appearance of God on earth in the body and human soul of Jesus Christ. C.S. Lewis calls this
amazing birth A grand miracle. Every other miracle prepares for this, or exhibits this, or results from this. The Incarnation is a sacred event
so thrilling, so humbling, so mystifying that we must stand breathless in wonder and awe.
God Is With Us tells the Christmas story using choir, soloists and a scripture narrative. The accompaniment may be simply piano and/or
organ. If you have the resources, the magnificent full orchestration is available for purchase (there is a smaller chamber orchestration as
well). As is always the case with major works, Alfred offers recorded orchestral accompaniment.
God Is With Us is traditional in style, but features innovative twists and turns. It combines exciting and moving classical music by Faur,
Beethoven, Vivaldi, Tchaikovsky, and Billings with some of the worlds most loved Christmas Carols. It begins with the awe-filled simplicity of
Gregorian Chant and concludes with a fun, festive journey through favorite carols with a Nutcracker flair. And in between, one experiences
indescribably beautiful music, worthy of the celebration of such a glorious and miraculous event.
