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 .

UPC: 785147801504. English. Text by John L. Bell.

A hymn for baptism that addresses God as the parent who conceived all of creation, and nurtured it as a mother and father, and in whose image we are made. The original tune is carol-like, possessing a gentle 3/4 lilt, but ending by repeating the last line in a more reflective 4/4. Useful as a choral anthem or unison hymn. .

SKU: GI.G-005815

Composed by Jennifer Kerr Breedlove Budziak. Christmastide, Baptism of the Lord, Children. Tune Name: English Carol. Sacred. Octavo. GIA Publications #005815. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-005815).

The joyful 6/8 meter and sprightly violin (or C instrument) figures make this English carol arrangement as much fun to listen to as it is to perform. Women and men both get a chance to sing this uplifting melody before splitting into part writing on Sing O my love on the latter three verses. Jennifer has also included the rarely heard fourth verse that speaks of the baptism of Christ, making this anthem a gem for any concert or liturgy during the Christmas season. Choral arranging at its best.
