Hello Indira Catherine,

 

I'm - and perhaps others - am not quite sure what you are asking for... Is it for a piece of "Christmas music" music which contains both "adaptations from Messiah" and "contemporary christmas songs (as well as) traditional carols", or are you looking for "adaptations from Messiah" and, as well, "contemporary Christmas songs and (as well) traditional carols"? Could you tell me/us, please, what your last (family) name is? Thanks!

 

Thanks!

Hi Indira Catherine,

 

You'll definitely want to take a look at Richard Toensing's set of 24 New Orthodox Carols for the Nativity of Christ, all of which are beautiful, approachable, and varied, both in spirit and in musical idiom. Some are in the Greco-Byzantine style, some are in a pentatonic folk-like idiom, and still others are in standard Western tonality, yet all of them have a fresh twist to melody, harmony, or rhythm. They are free to use, and PDFs of each carol can be downloaded at Richard Toensing's website, http://www.richardtoensing.com/orthodox.htm

this piece (from "Messyah") combines For unto us with various carols, old and new

 

 

I hope you enjoy it!

I would doubt that a single musical would combine all the styles your talking about, so why not compile a musical of your own?  You can simply choose the pieces you want, and then write a narration to go between: narration that connects them together to tell the Christmas story.  I really don't think it would be that hard to do.  Just a thought.
