Rejoice With Me – Flute choir
This beautiful Renaissance motet has been carefully arranged for flute choir. It was first published in 1572, written by Tomas Luis Victoria, the most famous composer in 16th century Spain and one of the greatest, ranking with Palestrina and Orlando di Lasso.
The simple lines, homophonic textures, rhythmic variety, repeated notes for emphasis, and tonal contrasts foreshadow the major-minor concept characteristic of the Baroque era.
This motet would be lovely for an offertory or other solemn event. It could also be played any time of the year since it is not a familiar carol.

Twas in the Moon of Wintertime – Flute Choir
This, the first Canadian Christmas carol, was originally written in the Huron
language using the melody of a 16th century French carol, Une Jeune
Pucelle. This arrangement is as expressive as the story it depicts and
the plaintive melody is elegantly scored and always full of promise.The lyrics are:
Twas in the moon of wintertime when all the birds had fled,
That mighty Gitchi Manitou sent angel choirs instead.
Before their light the stars grew dim,
And wand’ring hunters heard the hymn:
Jesus your king is born, Jesus is born
In excelsis gloria!The Ohio State University Flute Troupe, directed by Katherine Borst Jones, recorded this piece. The full version is available for your listening pleasure under Hear an Excerpt.

Instrumentation: 4 C Flutes, 2 Alto Flutes, Bass Flute & Contrabass Flute
Duration/# of Pages: ca. 5:00 / 16 pages, 8.5″ x 11″
