The very best of a cappella singing is celebrated in
this astounding choral work that connects the "light"
of Genesis with the coming of Christ to dispel the
darkness of humanity. Taking its inspiration from the
American spiritual, idiomatic jazz harmonies, and the
great bass section features, this is a tour-de-force for
the accomplished choral ensemble. Unforgettable!

Rise Up and See the King—Mary McDonald.
What a brilliant marriage of two seemingly contrasting
tunes in this setting by Mary McDonald! The spiritual
Rise Up, Shepherds, and Follow has been combined
with Andre Crouch's Soon and Very Soon in such a
seamless way that it almost seems these melodies
have always resided together. The gospel-styled
piano accompaniment is a wonderful addition to the
mix and blends well with the choral lines. The addition
of an optional tenor solo and hand clapping will only
further serve to enhance the impact of this anthem.
This one is not to be missed!
