In \"A Blest Messiah Born,\" Larry Shackley skillfully blends some of the most beloved ancient carols into a fresh, captivating retelling of the story of Jesus' birth. It begins with God's eternal plan of redemption, then starts the Christmas story with the Annunciation. Along the way, Larry presents delightful new settings of favorite carols such as \"The Friendly Beasts;\" \"What Child is This?;\" \"Ding Dong! Merrily on High;\" and \"Good Christian Friends, Rejoice.\" \"A Blest Messiah Born\" contains rich moments of reflection as well as high-spirited rejoicing. It is enhanced by hints of Renaissance rhythms and melodies, and the lyrics of the carols flow together with the poetic narration to portray the events of the nativity story. The entire work lends itself to simple staging, adding characters in each number to build a living manger scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e    Lorenz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eVocal Forces:\u003c\/b\u003e    SATB\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccompaniment:\u003c\/b\u003e    Piano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeason:\u003c\/b\u003e    Christmastide\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/b\u003e    80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem No:\u003c\/b\u003e    65\/2043L\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cfont size=\"1\"\u003ePrices and product availability are subject to change without notice.122025\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LORENZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67890715689151,"sku":"LOR 652043L 9781429129220","price":12.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1335\/9063\/files\/65_2043L.jpg?v=1793939976","url":"https:\/\/www.imaginethismusic.com\/products\/lor-65-2043l","provider":"Imagine This Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
