Advent Fanfare—Lloyd Larson. A festive introit
for the season of lights is unveiled in this new
collaborative anthem. Incorporating
VRUECHTEN, a
hymn theme typically associated with Eastertide,
this re-thinking places a substantial celebrative
melodic gesture into your winter sanctuaries.
With the cry "The Lord is coming, prepare the
way," the anthem starts its journey to worship
and adoration. Strong vocal unisons and fulfilling
harmonies triumphantly lift the spirit and call us
to purpose. The distinctive "alleluias" are the
crowning glory of this tune and so it is in this
brilliant new processional.

choir, or an optional soloist, and an adult choir join

4L Are You the One?—David Haas. The composer
envisions this piece in the format of a question and
answer: the refrain provides the question and the

piano accompaniment sets the mood for a text of
