From the days of the Old West comes this modernized version of the Christmas story, set in the little town of Bethlehem in the Wyoming Territory. In this unconventional telling of the ageless story of Jesus' birth, old Doctor Lucas Trotter--or just plain Doc to his friends--introduces the angel Gabriel, a six-gun totin' masked man dressed in white, as Gabriel tells Mary and Joseph the good news. From there, the stable becomes a livery stable, the shepherds become a rowdy bunch of lonesome cowboys working their herd on the plains, and the angels become a heavenly posse. For Unto Y'all obviously uses a great deal of humor, but it doesn't exist just for laughs--the message of Christmas comes through loud and clear.Featuring timeless music arranged in a fresh country style for youth or young adults by the innovative Robert Sterling, For Unto Y'all offers a chance for youth groups to don their western duds and drawl and dive into something fresh and different, delivering a taste of the Old West and a touch of the Old but Ageless story of Christmas.

By Heart is an ambitious project that aspires to join in perfect union the liturgical rites of gathering, intercession, and communion with music of the season in such a way that participation in these rites becomes written upon the lips and hearts of those who worship. This recording includes simple, beautiful arrangements of some of the most beloved songs of the principal liturgical seasons. Familiar seasonal tunes like “O Come, O Come Emmanuel†and John Bell’s “Take, O Take Me As I Am†are wedded to contemporary texts, making retention effortless. Alonso and Huck deftly demonstrate how “music and ritual can be so woven together that they become a single reality.†Unique to this project are the bulletin inserts and CD-ROM. The bulletin inserts are a perfect way to enhance the worship experience of your congregation. The full score of this collection offers detailed information about the background of this project and how to use it to its full potential.
