UPC: 000308129342.

Composers Mary McDonald and Larry Shackley have combined their musical gifts with the inspired lyrics of Pamela Martin to create a captivating thirty-minute cantata for SATB or SAB choirs. In this unique work, the many names of Christ foretold in the Old Testament are used to proclaim the familiar story of Christmas: Emmanuel, God With Us brings to life Mary's visit from the angel; Son of David depicts the journey to Bethlehem; and King of Kings involves the Wise Men and the congregation in worship. Lovely original melodies stand alongside familiar carols to create a musical experience suitable for churches of all traditions. A simple, scriptural narration joins the seven choral pieces, and an optional joyous instrumental overture sets the stage with a medley of Christmas favorites. The orchestration of this work is within the range of many churches, with the option of using digital keyboard along with a small group of woodwinds, brass, and percussion.

Follow the Star, Follow the King is the journey from spiritual darkness to light, culminating in the birth of King Jesus. It is a distinctive blend of scriptures anticipating and celebrating the coming of the Christ, beloved carols, and original new music which captures the mystery and majesty of this most holy season. Combining the talents of four veteran composers, this work reflects the creativity and breadth of scope one would anticipate from these collaborators. Conceived as a flexible resource, the five sections of this work may be utilized amid multiple worship experiences during the weeks of Advent and Christmas, or they may be presented in a single service as a 25-minute work. The optional candle lighting enables a church to mark the Sundays of Advent or to highlight each movement by underscoring each designated theme. The biblically based narration serves as a cohesive link, connecting the musical sections together in an inspiring celebration of God’s great gift.
