HtBethlehem ProcessionPepper Choplin. This
clever invitation to the joy of Christmas will be
an a cappella wonder for your choir. The men
begin with a drum-like "Come, O Come..." and
the women soar with a lyrical line that beckons
the listener to join the procession. It builds to a
joyous call to "come see the shining light," then
gradually fades into the distance. The effective
tambourine and drum add to the festivity of
this wonderful selection. If this doesn't make
you smile, check your pulse!
