In
Shout the Good News!,
composer Lloyd Larson has
created a celebration of
Jesus' birth and of those
messengers who helped
God's purposes to be
fulfilled. New material
is blended with beloved
carols, creating a rich
tapestry of music for
Christmas worship. The
biblical narrative is
rich as well. It starts
with the Old Testament
prophets who foretold the
Messiah's coming, then
touches on angels,
shepherds, wise men, John
the Baptist, Mary,
Joseph, and others as it
weaves its way through
the miraculous Christmas
story. The culmination is
a congregational
affirmation that all of
us are called to be
messengers of this good
news of Christ's birth
and love! Available in
SATB or SAB versions,
this versatile work for
choirs large or small
offers opportunities to
involve the congregation
in the singing of beloved
carol melodies. It is
equally effective whether
accompanied by piano
alone or by the colorful
orchestration utilizing
either the accompaniment
CD or live
instrumentalists.
