H. Prichard/arr. Jim Ailor. An original Advent
text is paired with the hymn tune

while strains of The First Noel can be heard
in the introduction. The piece eventually
gives way to The First Noel refrain. The
lush choral writing has options for including
children's voices. Score and parts for flute,
oboe (flute 2), percussion 1 & 2, harp, violin
1 & 2, viola, cello, and string bass, (string
reduction), and piano (opt. rhythm) are

Advent worship.

text is lovingly paired with Bach's chorale,

transforms the tunes, and the displaced
metric stresses seem quite natural. True
to Bach, there are long instrumental
sections in which worship narrations may
be inserted.

reign in us forever - raise us to thy glorious
throne!" An impressive anthem for worship
or concert.
