A
Christmas CommunionHeather Sorenson.
At the plaintive strains of Silent Night, this
sensitively designed anthem of reflection rises
like a prayer to call the church to the grace of
God's table. Surrounded by tender music, this
song delivers the contemplative nature of the
text. As the final verse issues a challenge for us
to take the gift to the world, an effective crescendo
raises the call before allowing the anthem to
end in peaceful calm as it began. Violin (or
C-instrument) part included.
