Christmas Musical The message of Christmas is a message of joy - and becomes the central theme that is woven throughout this 37-minute musical by Lloyd Larson. Easily learned, this work contains eight selections of both new and familiar carols and spirituals, including Keith Getty's powerful song, 'Joy Has Dawned. ' The work is dynamically arranged for SATB choirs and orchestra, and is filled with the joy of the season, which congregations will find appealing, as the message embraces the hope that we have in both the good days and the bad - that joy has dawned upon the world - giving us something to celebrate!

Friedhelm Rentzsch, long a cellist in the Dresden Philharmonic, set Psalm 130, whose character of penitence is especially impressive here, through the reduction of the musical forces to a solo alto with orchestral accompaniment, and this in a most unique, urgent manner. Through the addition of a sombre text by Erich Arendt the subective manner of the song is placed in a worldly context encompassing all periods of time. Repeatedly, passages of a quiet character alternate with tutti phases which sometimes climax to passages employing clusters. Score and part available separately - see item CA.4075200.
