O Come, Emmanuel
Elaine Hagenberg.
"Haunting" is the best word to describe this original setting of the
traditional Advent text, scored for choir, piano and cello. Marked
"mysterioso" in triple meter, it is such a creative interpretation, the effect
in performance is truly extraordinary!

O Come, Messiah King
Lloyd Larson.
This Advent piece is full of interesting melody, harmony, and history.
A newly composed melody based on original and historic text is full of
the minor sounds often associated with Advent. Close choral harmonies
complement the melody. The King Shall Come When Morning Dawns
is expertly woven into the middle section. The piece ends quietly, with
anticipation. An optional violin part is included.

A Bluegrass Magnificat
"My Soul Magnifies the Lord" from Angel Band
Tim Sharp & Timothy Michael Powell.
Featuring an accompanying bluegrass ensemble, this energetic setting
of the traditional text is one movement from a larger work, Angel Band,
which features tunes and texts of the Appalachian Mountains and the
shape-note and early Moravian singing tradition. In the co-creators' words,
"We took the image of bands of angels singing and playing at the Nativity
as reported in the second chapter of Luke's gospel, and transported that
image to Appalachia." Youth and adults will enjoy presenting this fresh
look at the age-old text. Instrumental parts available for rental.
