Among the many liturgical composers who have shared their talents with us over the past few decades, Fran O'Brien consistently captures the wants, needs, and capacity of the Sunday morning choir beautifully! The Word Is Born is a marvelous collection of Christmas offerings, with ideal pieces for children's choir, ensemble, and of course, adult choir. Song after song is highly useable during the season, from Advent through the Baptism of the Lord. Filled with tastefully crafted and highly singable music for all types of choirs, The Word Is Born is sure to become a Christmas standard for years to come. Includes one of each of following octavos: Wood of the Cradle - All the Ends of the Earth - Epiphany Carol - God of Surprises - God’s Beloved One - God’s Delight at Bethlehem - Hodie Christus natus est - Journey On - Nova, Nova - Of Woman Born - Song of the Baptist - Song of the Innocents - The Word Is Born - Today Is Born Our Savior - ’Twas in the Noon of Wintertime - Welcome All .

The refrain’s melody in this selection sways gently and slowly, much as a parent might cradle a babe in her or his arms, the verses expand the usual textual elements of this ancient chant, punctuated by echoes of the refrain. At the end of each verse, a short interlude by the accompaniment adds to the restfulness one feels. It’s an easily learned piece of simple beauty. Included in the octavo are parts for flute, oboe, and cello as well as a reproducible congregational part.
