For many of us, Christmas is a time of joy and celebration, a time to be spent with family and friends...a festive, happy time. But for others, the same holiday season only serves to underscore the loneliness,pain, and hopelessness of their own lives.In our story, Susanna King's bright spirit and love for life overrides her circumstances; you see, Susanna has been recently diagnosed with cancer. But in spite of bad news and challenging times, she lives with the joy of Christmas in her heart.This is an emotion-filled story, rich with heart. It comes alive with great new songs that are sometimes powerful, sometimes celebratory, sometimes poignant; sometimes happy, sometimes sad; songs that propel the story along while speaking to our hearts with the love language of God's Christmas story...the birth of our Savior, Jesus.Designed to bring your music and drama ministries together, Shepherds and Kings proclaims a strong, vibrant message about the power of love--our love for one another, our love for God, and most importantly, God's desire that ALL would come to know of His great love for us. Share the hope and good news of Christmas with your church and community this year, through your presentation of Shepherds and Kings.Song Titles: Christmas All Over the World (Opener) * Underscore 1 (Susanna Arrives) * Underscore 2 (Mattiello's) * We All Need Christmas * Hopes and Fears (Duet) * Mercy for Me * Everlasting Light * Underscore 3 (Accusations) * Prince of Peace * Underscore 4 (Realization) * Winter White * Shepherds and Kings * Christmas Makes Us One (with We All Need Christmas; Christmas Makes Us One; O Come, All Ye Faithful and Shepherds and Kings).

Born out of the sufferings of Black people during slavery, spirituals express sorrow, hope, despondency, faith, and joy. These songs reflect the conditions in which slaves found themselves and are relevant to the conditions in which we all find ourselves at various times in our lives. Norah Duncan IV arranged these pieces during such conditions, as the pandemic raged and Black Lives Matter marches exploded throughout our country in the summer of 2020. While retaining the essence of these spirituals, Norah has raised them to the category of art songs, making this collection an amazing source of repertoire for the gifted singer. CONTENTS: City Called Heaven • Didn’t My Lord Deliver Daniel • Give Me Jesus • Here’s One • I Couldn’t Hear Nobody Pray • I’ve Just Come from the Fountain • I Want Jesus to Walk with Me • Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen • Oh What a Beautiful City • Ride Up in the Chariot.
