A Cantata for Christmas

Composed by Mary McDonald

The world was lost in darkness, awaiting a Messiah. Then, a dawn of new hope as the world had never seen was born in a modest stable. Come to Bethlehem, and experience anew the magnificent Christmas story through words and music as only Mary McDonald can create. From tender to triumphant, this cantata brings a fresh touch to beloved carols while introducing beautiful new songs which stir the heart and soul. An amazing and unforgettable celebration of the Incarnation! 40 minutes.
