One Silent NightPepper Choplin. One silent
night long ago, a birth story began that forever
changed the world. Lying in a crude manger was
a newborn babe, who would become the source of
our Christian faith and our abiding hope. Using the
power and simplicity of the event itself, composer
and creator Pepper Choplin presents each of the
familiar elements of that story through ballad-like
recitatives of scripture, surrounded by anthems
ranging from outbursts of unbridled joy to moving
moments of introspection and gentleness. Weaving
familiar carols and songs throughout original music,
this timeless tale emerges in a deeply moving
presentation that will lift one's faith and deepen
one's understanding of the profound significance
of that One Silent Night. 30 minutes.
