Shout the Good News! (Christmas Messengers
in Scripture and Song)Lloyd Larson.
Celebrate Jesus' birth through the messengers
of the good news. New material is blended with
beloved carols, creating a rich tapestry of music
for Christmas worship. The biblical narrative is rich
as well. It starts with the Old Testament prophets
who foretold the Messiah's coming, then touches
on angels, shepherds, wise men, John the
Baptist, Mary, Joseph, and others as it weaves its
way through the miraculous Christmas story. The
culmination is a congregational affirmation that
all of us are called to be messengers of this good
news of Christ's birth and love! Performance time
is approximately 35 minutes. Contents: Shout
the Good News!; Unto Us A Child Shall Come;
Prepare the Way; My Soul Glorifies the Lord;
Sing Gloria!; The Infant King; Child of Promise
with Shout the Good News!

handbells and hand percussion to add color and
variety to the presentation. There are three solos;

"
My greatest joy as
a composer isn't
as much about
hearing my work
performed as it is
about the privilege
of connecting with
performers. It comes
from looking into
someone's face and
knowing that they
feel exactly what I
felt when a piece
was conceived."
— Joel Raney
