O Come Emmanuel is an Advent Celebration suitable for both church and concert choirs. It is based on the 7 Great 'O' Antiphons and fragments of the well-known plainsong hymn permeate the work. To these Bullard has added settings of a number of other Advent texts and hymns including the beautiful 'There is a rose-tree' a rousing setting of 'Chanticleer Carol' and new arrangements of 'Gabriel's Message' and 'Joy to the world!'. The work may be sung throughout by SATB choir or a range of soloists may take some of the lines. The accompaniment - for organ or piano or with small orchestra or chamber group - is equally flexible. A number of themovements make highly effective separate pieces and anthems. Written with the composer's long and practical experience O Come Emmanuel is a strikingly original work for Advent and Christmas that will enhance both liturgical celebrations and concert programmes at this time.For SATB and organ or piano or small orchestra or chamber group
