Classic sacred poetry speaks to the heart of Christmas in this a cappella gem. Enriched with the depth of its harmonic vocabulary, the anthem is a throwback to a sonic past that showcases the choral ensemble's full expressive potential. The traditional Nativity message includes a “Glory unto God” moment that brings a praiseworthy arc to the anthem's impact before returning to a quiet conclusion. Winsome!

UPC: 785147937203. English. Text by Adam M. L. Tice.

This accessible anthem, in the words of the composer, offers the Christian community “a strong and lyric expression of the way in which Christians are called to make their lives a song of praise and gratitude.” The ecumenical text by Adam Tice is appropriate for worship and other gatherings. This work is intended as a choral anthem, but the melody can easily be sung by an assembly as a hymn.

Carefully placed staccatos and well-chosen chord inversions illuminate the gospel style of this original anthem of hope. It's a perfect pep talk or pick-me-up theme song for whenever your program needs a lift. A solo voice becomes a duet before all the singers join in and grow with intensity. Several ascending key changes raise spirits, ensuring that the uplifting message resonates. Everything will be alright, everything will be okay, 'cause I can see a new horizon on a brand new day. If you don't perform with the kickin' SoundTrax accompaniment, be sure to add a groovin' drummer and riffing organ of your own. We dare you (and your audience) not to clap along!
