New Christmas Anthem for ’08

\

Lorenz has just released a Christmas anthem that I am very excited about. This is an excellent Jonathan Cook text that will take you right to Bethlehem. The violin obligato throughout the piece adds such a nice touch. (It was written by Lorenz editor Lloyd Larson, who always offers excellent editorial suggestions.) Here’s the write-up for the piece:

Captivating and awe-inspiring are apt descriptions for this gentle Christmas ballad. Easily sung by choirs or ensembles of any size, it is the perfect choice for Christmas Eve worship. It is a poignant reminder of the significance of the Christmas story: “Salvation’s joy has come, God’s glory, our delight, and now new hope to all is giv’n on this still and silent night.”
