Description: This collection of songs is suitable for young children’s choirs K-5. Some of the songs may seem to have a lot of words to them, but the author’s practical experience of working with children for two decades shows that even rising kindergarteners are fully capable of learning these songs with some practice. The tessitura of these songs lies in the “golden” section of children’s voices, where correct vocal development takes place: The overall design of the Musical Catechesis consists of three major segments:

Christ prefigured in the Old Testament: The story of Creation, the Fall, Promise of Salvation, and the vision of the Savior prefigured in the writings of the holy prophets.

Christ revealed in the New Testament: The story of Christ, from his Incarnation to his Resurrection; His teachings, parables, miracles.

Christ borne in his Church: First Christians, Apostles, the early Church and her teachings; the sacraments, the angels, and the saints.

The texts of these songs do their best to echo the teachings of the ancient Christian faith as preserved by the Eastern Orthodox Church. However, the Western churches and ecclesiastical communities, Roman Catholic and Protestant alike, may also benefit from this collection.
