subject: origin: New Zealand
subject: male composer
description: Rossetti poem(s): "Christmastide"
description: Place in the larger work: The original version of the setting is the first song of four in the song cycle called "Four Carols," which includes 1. "Love Came Down at Christmas" (Christina Rossetti); 2. "The Shepherds Had An Angel" (Christina Rossetti); 3. "The Childhood of Christ" (Eustace Condor); 4. "Epiphany Carol" (James Lowell). The revised version of the setting is the first song of five in the song cycle called "To the Christ Child," which includes 1. "Love Came Down at Christmas" (Christina Rossetti); 2. "The Angel's Song" (Von Himmel Hoch - Klug's Gesangbuch); 3. "Cradle Hymn" (Isaac Watts); 4. "A Stable Lamp" (Richard Wilbur); 5. "Love Came Down at Christmas (reprise)" (Christina Rossetti).
description: Composition history: "While overseas in 1989 I came upon the book by Erik Routley A Panorama of Christian Hymnody - a sourcebook of hymns and other sacred texts. These four carols draw their texts from that book: the first two by Christina Rossetti (1830-1894), the third by Eustace Condor (1820-1892), and the fourth by James Lowell (1819-1891). The fact that the poets are contemporaries is quite coincidental - these are texts which appealed and which appear to form a satisfactory cycle (although individual pieces may be performed separately). Love Came Down at Christmas is a popular and widely set Christmas text, and originally appeared in Time Flies: A Reading Diary, while The Shepherds had an Angel comes from Rossetti's Poetical Works. Both texts were originally intended as hymns for children. The Childhood of Christ was also a children's hymn and is drawn from the Congregational Church Hymnal of 1867, whereas the Epiphany Carol appeared in the 1865 publication Songs of the Sanctuary. Over a number of years I have written short Christmas pieces for groups directed by John Rosser - the Summer Singers, Quintessence, the Star Quartet and his fine chamber choir Viva Voce. These four pieces are dedicated to John and Kathryn Rosser as an appreciation for their interest in my music and willingness to perform (and record) it" (Hamilton).

"Love came down at Christmas: A Christmas Cantata" [John C. Hallett]
title: First line of lyrics: Love came down at Christmas
subject: genre: sacred music|cantata|choral music|Christmas music
subject: solo: soprano
subject: chorus: SATB chorus|speech choir|children's two-part chorus|children's unison chorus
subject: instrumentation: organ
subject: initial sharps/flats: four flats
subject: initial time signature: 4/4
subject: origin: United States
subject: male composer
description: Rossetti poem(s): "Christmastide"
description: Work contains texts by multiple authors
description: Notes about the text: Hallett's libretto is an extended meditation on "Love Came Down at Christmas" and integrates additional hymns, poems and narration. In addition to "Love Came Down At Christmas," of which only the first stanza is used, the cantata includes "The Lowly Little Jesus (Junior Choir)" (Vida Munden Nixon); "Sing, Jesus Christ Is Born" (Anonymous and Christopher Wordsworth); "Rejoice And Be Merry" (Unknown); "Glory To God In The Highest"; "God So Loved The World" (John 3:16); "Would You Feel Lost In Bethlehem?" (A.H. Ackley); and "Thou Didst Leave Thy Heavenly Throne" (Emily S. Elliott). "Love came down at Christmas" is sung first and returns twice (pp. 22-23; pp. 30-33) over the course of the cantata. The narration interspersed throughout the piece meditates on Christ's birth using Rossetti's language of personified "Love," meaning Christ, coming to earth.
description: Tempo markings: "Andante"
description: Performance instructions: "The Speech Choir may be a select group of High School students or adults who are carefully trained to speak clearly. They will be most effective if unseen and heard over the public address system from the balcony, an adjacent room, or similar convenient place. For variety and emphasis, (A) indicates ALL to speak, (B) BOYS only, (G) GIRLS only. Where both instruments are available, contrasts in the musical background are heightened by playing organ only at places indicated (O), piano only at (P), and both play at (OP). The narrator should stand near the piano, at side of platform, if possible." At the end of the score, a note reads: "For climactic ending, segue with Junior, Youth and Adult Choirs singing O, HOLY NIGHT (Octavo No. 2227)."
description: Notes: Foreword: "Christina Rosetti's lovely poem provides the theme of this cantata by John Hallett. Beautiful melodies and harmonies for Adult Choir with soprano soloist are interwoven with narration and recitation of Scripture by a Speech Choir (High School or Adult) and optional unison or two-part song for Junior Choir. The music is not difficult and is within the range of the average choir."

subject: origin: United States

description: Rossetti poem(s): "Goblin Market"
description: Notes about the text: This setting of "Goblin Market" includes the complete and unaltered poem, which is to be read by a narrator.

Each syllable of the complete poem is precisely notated and placed in the musical score.

description: Performance history: Goblin Market’s first performance took place 12 January 1995 at The Music Hall, Shrewsbury, England, in a production presented by the Birmingham Contemporary Music Group and Trestle Theatre Company, with Daniel Harding as conductor.
