Joseph Martin's celebrated cantata Journey of Promises yields a glorious scriptural paraphrase for Advent or Palm Sunday usage. The musical vernacular of Lift Up Your Heads has a more classical appeal and yet it has thoseMartin touches that congregations find most appealing. The choral canon that closes the piece sounds much more difficult than it actually is so choirs will love singing it. Tasteful.
