(A Christmas Choral Celebration) (SATB)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eComposer(s):  \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eLarson, Lloyd; Douglas E. Wagner; \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoy is a pervading theme throughout the Bible. In the midst of Old Testament Israel's despair was the eternal promise of joy: \"They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.\" (Ps. 126:5) \"Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.\" (Ps. 30:5b) A new day of joy did eventually dawn as reflected in the angelic proclamation to Judean shepherds near Bethlehem: \"I bring you good news of great joy! For to you is born this day a Savior, Christ the Lord.\" (Lk 2:10-11) This cantata, a collaborative work by Lloyd Larson and Douglas \nE. Wagner, presents the Christmas message in a fresh and powerful blending of familiar carols with new texts and tunes. Scripturally-based narration along with optional congregational participation makes this truly a joyous worship experience for the Christmas celebration. Performance time: approximately 35 minutes.Contents: Joy Comes in the Morning (Lloyd Larson); Come Thou Long-Expected Jesus (Douglas E Wagner); Song of Mary (Douglas E Wagner); Holy Night (Lloyd Larson); Sing Gloria!
