This mesmerizing original opens with the
haunting call of the distant prophet, "Prepare
the way of the Lord." The choir responds as
the voice of the faithful, "Make straight the
way in the desert for our God." Composed in
a simple, Appalachian folk style, this little gem
sparkles with creativity. Optional instrumental
accompaniment adds a plaintive touch that is just
right for Advent and Christmas morning.

Courtney. The French hymn PICARDY is generally
sung at Christmastime, yet the text places Christ
into the context of history, and refers to his coming
as the one who will eventually vanquish the
"powers of hell." Consider this impressive setting
for Christmas and for Lenten services, and even for
the concert hall. Scored for more capable choral
forces and an accomplished pianist.

For Advent, this classic anthem is based on the
words of Isaiah 40:4-5. The original setting for SATB
or Two-Part choirs is in the key of Bb, while this

it more accessible for the smaller church choir. The
accompaniment works equally well for either piano
or organ, and the addition of optional soloists makes
this an inviting choice for Advent.
