Hannibal-LaGrange University invites the community to attend the annual HLGU Music Department Christmas Concert on Friday, December 5, at 7 p.m. in the Roland Fine Arts Center.

Both pieces will be directed by Katelyn Browning, a Music Education major, in partial fulfillment of her degree requirements. Additional Concert Choir selections include Children, Go Where I Send Thee arranged by Adam Podd and Hark! The Herald Angels Sing arranged by Tim Bandy.
The HLGU Chamber Choir will continue the program with Masters in This Hall, a French Christmas carol arranged by Richard Oliver; Sing We Noel by Patricia Wilhelm; We Three Kings by J. H. Hopkins, arranged by Darmon Meader; and Good Christian Men, Rejoice, a traditional German carol arranged by Alice Parker and Robert Shaw.
The HLGU Band will perform several festive instrumental works, including A Royal Christmas arranged by Harry Stone, Fantasy for Christmas arranged by Jim Curnow, The Bells of Christmas arranged by Bob Krogstad, and Let Earth Receive Her King arranged by Jeff Cranfill.
The evening will conclude with a grand finale as the HLGU Band and Concert Choir join together for the beloved Hallelujah Chorus from Messiah by G.F. Handel, transposed by Clair Johnson.
