Love Is Born (Celebrating the Mystery
and Wonder of Christmas)—Lloyd
Larson. The correlation between the Old
Testament prophecies of anticipation and
preparation for the promised Messiah
and the New Testament fulfillment of
those prophecies sets the stage for this

unexpected way enhances the mystery and
wonder of Christ's birth. The four traditional
themes of Advent are presented here to tell
the Christmas story: hope, peace, joy, and
love. The work can be presented in different

by Ed Hogan, there are numerous

Night of the Father's Love (The Awe
and Mystery of God with Us)—Pepper
Choplin. All of the mystery, the awe, and
the palpable excitement of that night are
imaginatively captured in a Christmas
mosaic that combines fragments of the
familiar with a unique perspective in word
and music. "Night of the Father's Love"
skillfully guides the listener through the
Christmas story, as though hearing it
again for the first time. Three narrators
interject with familiar scripture passages
and personal reflections, while an intriguing
array of musical styles that range from
an energetic Celtic style to a simple folk
melody and the lush imagery of a ballad
all beautifully express the essence of
Christmas: the gift of the Father's love.
The accompaniment includes a live full
orchestral performance, an accompaniment
CD featuring that orchestration, a few
instruments pulled from the orchestral
score, or keyboard alone, as resources and
desires dictate. 35 minutes.

voice. The narration explores God's light
contrasted with the world's darkness and
how the holy light of Jesus will never be
quenched. The lighting of five symbolic
candles during the cantata along with an
optional congregational candlelight moment
is thrilling. Joyful throughout, it's the sort of
cantata that will be remembered for years to
come. 35 minutes.
