A stunning melody takes hold of the heart in this outstanding original anthem. The themes of hope and promise are central to this reassuring ballad. The part writing is well considered throughout, and the supportive yet creative keyboard writing adds color and contrast.

The text Can Love Be Found in a Manger? was inspired by the four candles of the Advent Wreath which symbolically represent: hope, peace, joy, and love.  Can we still find these emotions in an event of long ago? Yes! We find them in the manger, in a star’s bright light, in a baby’s first cry, and even “tonight” as we both sing and reflect.The questions asked by the text give an opportunity for the choir to sing beautifully arched phrases with the emphasis on the word found. Do not be reluctant to bring down the dynamics at the end of these phrases. It will be important for the singers to carefully follow the dynamic indications throughout the piece. Be especially careful of intonation and balance in measures 54-56. In measures 87-90, avoid singing the Stille Nacht fragment too loudly.  In the last two measures, sopranos, tenors, and basses should yield to the altos as they move up on the final “tonight.”Whe n sung with sensitivity and thoughtfulness, it is the composer’s wish that hope, peace, joy and love be found by singers and listeners.

It is the dawning of a new millennium. Uncertainty about the future makes fear a predator and entire nations its vulnerable prey. The global economy is changing faster than the commerce of most countries can adjust to. Wars rage. There is corruption in the highest seats of government and among religious leaders. Hunger is an ever present enemy. God's people are crying out for Divine intervention and peace for a world mired in chaos. Listen...angels are about to sing... common laborers are about to rejoice... rulers are going to bow down... a promise is about to be fulfilled... a King is coming. This is the world scene on the eve of Bethlehem... this is the world scene on the eve of His second advent. Not much is different - yet, everything has changed. Those that listen will hear... those that look will see... those that seek will find. A promise is about to be fulfilled. A King is coming! All Is Calm, All Is Bright.
