Uses: General, concert Scripture: Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:8-25 A fantastic acclamation of praise filled with rhythmic drive and festive spirit. This call to celebrative worship can be a theme song for your choir as it affirms its ministry through the gift of music. The mixed-meter joy of the opening theme gives way to a more lyric middle section before returning to the commanding sweep of the opening theme.

Uses: Advent Scripture: Isaiah 42:10; Psalm 96 The sorrowful journey of a people in search of hope, there is a deep longing in the character of the theme and through it we are reminded of our own need for a Savior. There is an opportunity for a solo to add an intimate ambience to the opening and enhance the expressiveness of the presentation.
