About the Arranger: Patrick M. Liebergen
Patrick M. Liebergen is a prolific arranger and composer whose work appears regularly in choral publications and educational music catalogs. His arrangements balance accessibility with musical substance, making him a trusted resource for directors seeking repertoire that sounds sophisticated without demanding virtuosity.
Why we love this
Liebergen takes two beloved carol melodies and weaves them into something fresh, giving your singers a piece that feels both familiar and inventive. The flexible voicing options (TB, TTB, TBB, TTBB) mean you can program this whether your ensemble is evolving or fully formed, and the optional instrumental parts add color without requiring anything special in your pit.
What to expect
This arrangement radiates seasonal joy through a minor-key lens that feels more intriguing than predictable. The 6/8 rhythm propels the carol melodies forward with dance-like energy, and the mash-up structure creates delightful moments of recognition as familiar tunes interweave and overlap.
Who it's for
TTBB choirs in secondary schools, colleges, and community ensembles looking for Christmas repertoire with a contemporary arranging sensibility. Directors with singers at intermediate reading level will appreciate the clear voicing and rhythmic drive, while mixed-voice ensembles can adapt using the offered voicing flexibility.
How to get the most out of it
- Anchor the 6/8 pulse in your conducting so the singers feel the two large beats per measure rather than counting six individual eighth notes; this keeps the tempo buoyant and prevents dragging.
- Balance the minor tonality carefully in rehearsal so it reads as festive rather than wistful; bring out the rhythmic vitality in the text setting to lift the harmonic color.
- If using optional flute and hand drum, bring them in for dress rehearsals well before performance so the choir can lock into the rhythmic groove they create.
How to use it
Fit this into a Christmas concert's lighter, more theatrical section, where it can sit comfortably between reverent carols and contemporary holiday songs. Its moderate length and engaging orchestration also make it work as a opener or closer for a holiday pops concert.
