Excitement and anticipation build throughout this triumphant Palm Sunday anthem as the crowd waits in charged expectation for Jesus's arrival in Jerusalem. “Look in the distance!...What do you see?...I heard Messiah is coming!...Could it be he?” Questions and speculations mount as the long-awaited Christ approaches. “I see it clear...He is here!” Harmony bursts out of the unison “wonderings” to announce the arrival of Messiah. Blessed Is He is majestic, yet dance-like, inviting all to join the celebration. From Pepper Choplin's best-selling cantata, Once Upon a Tree, this electrifying processional is a must for Palm Sunday.

This lilting anthem of unbridled joy serves a dual purpose. From the best-selling Christmas cantata, MorningStar, the text recalls the words from Isaiah anticipating the coming of the Messiah. Yet, the language is also appropriate for Palm Sunday, Resurrection Sunday, or Eastertide as it triumphantly proclaims Christ as King and his victory over sin and death. The choral includes text appropriate for Palm Sunday and Advent, making this anthem an exceeding value. The melody is infectious, as is the feeling of overwhelming happiness this anthem invokes. Rejoice, Rejoice, Ye People is a must for your library.

For generations, the people of the world walked in darkness, unable to find their way. They yearned for a king who would lead them. Could This Be the Day? is one of the most memorable moments from Joseph and Pamela Martin's cantata, Canticle of Joy, and is available here as a separate octavo. Orchestrated by Brant Adams and incorporating “O Come, O Come. Emmanuel,” this hauntingly beautiful Advent choral expresses the world's deep longing and emotional prayers of hope that the Messiah will come.

It was the Weihnachtskonzert (Christmas concerto) in C major that won special popularity continuing a tradition which was cultivated by Corelli with his pastoral at the end of Op. 6 No. 8 or by Torelli in his Op. 8 No. 6 and reaching to the pastoral in Handel's Messiahs and to the sinfonia in the second cantata of Johann Sebastian Bach's Christmas oratorium. This, finally, originates from the music-making of shepherds - coming from the Abruzzi and from Calabria to Rome at Christmas to play the shawm and the bagpipes in front of the cribs. Hence the popular consecutive thirds and the sustained bass tones characterizing the first Largo, a genuine siciliano in the rocking, typically dotted 12/8 time.
