Uses: Advent, Christmas, Concert, A Cappella Scripture: Matthew 1:18, Luke 2-1-20, Acts 4:20 A dazzling, a cappella gem is found in this anthem filled with gospel joy! A soulful solo opens the piece with freedom and expressive restraint before giving over to a rollicking theme, rich with enthusiastic melodic gestures and syncopations. A featured bass part is sure to please and the virtuosic modulations and vocal pyrotechnics make this an excellent piece for concert and worship services alike.
