And
It Came to Pass,
Emmanuel: A compelling
musical triumph that
invites the listener on a
journey that ultimately
leads to worship of the
Christ Child. The text of
the Christmas story
blends seamlessly with
original narrative and
exquisite lyric writing
from Rose Aspinall, and
Jay Rouse's incredible
ability to fashion
original melodies and
arrange Christmas
favorites with nuance and
passion is on full
display. The musical
opens with an ethereal
underscore that leads
effortlessly into a 6/8
interpretation of Adeste
Fideles, followed
directly by the theme
song and anchor ballad
for the musical, And It
Came to Pass. Also
included are a song
written specifically for
this work that gives
voice to Joseph's fears
and longings; a
traditional gospel
setting of the all-time
favorite Jesus, What a
Wonderful Child; a
syncopated, upbeat angel
and shepherd announcement
song titled Fire in the
Sky; and a tender worship
moment at the manger
called Jesus, Prince of
Peace. With a little
something for everyone,
this creative work is
sure to be an important
part of your Christmas
season.
