This
moving cantata is a
worship service of
contemplation and
reflection. Based on the
classic Evensong service,
the work is appropriate
for choirs looking for a
something that is both
traditional and yet very
innovative. A profound
blending of message and
music, the writers have
provided a moving
invitation to quietly
consider the advent
moment from an ancient
yet relevant perspective,
while the narration for
multiple readers and
congregation poignantly
weaves everything
together. Though brief,
this powerful work will
be an inspiring moment as
your church prepares for
the Christmas event.
Truly
inspired!
Songs
