Comfort Me With Apples
by Gail Lund
SATB with piano – CP 1531 – 2:50
Is this the oldest love song ever written? Inspired by the Song of Solomon this romantic song is very do-able by community choirs and your more experienced choir will love it. There are nice echoes of the Sephardic tradition in the piano part that evoke the time and place of the lyrics.
Gabriel’s Message
arr. Gail Lund
SATB with piano – CP 1530 – 2:30 
This is the most famous and best-loved Basque carol about the Annunciation to the Virgin Mary by the archangel Gabriel that she would become the mother of Jesus Christ. This arrangement contains interesting harmonies and accompaniment and will be a favourite of your choir.
The Lesser Joys of Christmas
by Gail Lund
SATB with piano – CP 1111 – 4:00
A light-hearted look at the “other” side of Christmas, including the stress of shopping, attending Christmas concerts and writing those terminally cheerful Christmas letters! Delightful lyrics by Marion Woodson.
