Combining the passion of Celtic musical traditions and the joyous celebration of Christ's birth, Season of Joy offers a spectacular collection of new and beloved seasonal songs that will perfectly complement any Christmas program. Acclaimed arranger/orchestrator Daniel Semsen has brilliantly married traditional Celtic instrumentation with a vibrant contemporary sound. Featuring four new songs by Keith and Kristyn Getty, this one-of-a-kind musical combines such Irish classics as The Wexford Carol with exciting new Celtic-inspired arrangements of Chris Tomlin's Emmanuel (Hallowed Manger Ground) and Travis Cottrell's Jesus Saves. A standout offering is the stunning overture, which features fiddles, penny whistles and bagpipes. No less than one dozen familiar carols artfully weave their way through the work, inviting your congregation to fully join the celebration. Two optional narrations, a sequence of dramatic readings and production notes by Deborah Craig-Claar have also been provided, allowing you to customize the work to your presentational needs. This year, share the Season of Joy with your choir, your church and your community.
