An Advent
Proclamation
Jon Paige.
This artful yet utilitarian Advent introit is based upon
the beloved hymn tune, TRURO. The original text
articulates the Messianic Isaiah prophecy and the
stanzas can be sung separately throughout the season
or in their entirety. Handbells and congregational
singing provide additional performance options.

Let All Mortal Flesh
Keep Silence

for this glorious congregation/choir setting, which

verses one and four are unison, verse two is SATB a
cappella, and verse three suggests the congregation
in canon. It closes with a brilliant, thrilling finish.

O Come, O Come Emmanuel
arr. Kyle Pederson.
An original chant-like tune is used for the opening
section, singing the Latin text "Veni, veni, Rex
Gentium." Then the cello takes that melody as the
choir sings the
VENI EMMANUEL tune with English
text. In the final section, both texts and tunes occur
simultaneously, building to a powerful climax before
the piece closes softly, as it began.

of the Lord!

a fresh text and original music. Some great harmonic
moments, a strong piano part. and a reasonable

Send Us Emmanuel
Robert Lau.
Joining the time-honored tune,
FAITHFULNESS, with a
new Advent text, this singable anthem moves with
beauty, supported by a flowing piano accompaniment.
Building through a key change, it closes with a
powerful repeat of the refrain, "Send us Emmanuel!"

Sing We the Song of Emmanuel
arr. Joseph M. Martin.
A dream team of writers celebrate "God with us"
in this seasonal offering. Owing much stylistically
to traditional carols, the piece is almost classical
in its festive nature. A shout of proclamation, the
incarnation is seen as the fulfillment of God's promise
revealed by the prophets. A small optional solo adds
variety while the choral parts are sturdy and easily
absorbed, making this an ideal choice for a Christmas
time of music and worship.
