Description:
This collaborative cantata looks at the Christmas story through the eyes of first-hand witnesses, who share their unique perspectives on the miraculous birth of Jesus. Zechariah, Mary, Joseph, a shepherd, a wise man, and the aged saint Simeon all share their stories through dramatic monologues. A blend of original and familiar carols provides a dramatic sonic backdrop for these inspiring stories. Ed Hogan’s stunning orchestration makes this piece a versatile work that can be presented equally well with piano only or with full orchestral accompaniment, and the optional inclusion of congregational singing of familiar carols ensures a meaningful worship experience for the entirety of the congregation.
