All Voicings
l Abide with Us, EmmanuelMarty Haugen.
This Advent song incorporates five of the seven O
Antiphons, prayers that have been prayed for over
a thousand years as part of the Vespers service
during the fourth week of Advent. These are
appropriate for that season and any time services
focus on longing for God. The composer says
"The contrast between the minor and major keys
is meant to express the tension between yearning
and waiting for God's promised reign in Jesus, and
our hope that God is with us."

Advent Alleluiaarr. Keith Christopher. The

Advent season. Choose to use voices and piano
alone, or add the lush string and percussion parts
for stirring effect. The SSA new voicing is a great
addition to the repertoire. Beautiful!
