"Unwrapping God's Perfect Gift"
Arranged & Orchestrated by Marty Parks
Release Date: April 30, 2023

Christmas has become synonymous with gifts. It might even be something you look forward to as the Christmas season approaches, but the greatest gift that could ever be given happened on that first Christmas night…inside a lowly stable.

An ode to that first Christmas day when God's greatest give came to earth is the brand-new musical from Lillenas Music titled Christmas Presence: Unwrapping God's Perfect Gift. This new 14-song musical gives a glimpse into what it was like that first Christmas night: angels singing in a magnificent chorus, everyone gathered 'round to see this new miracle, and a look into what the three kings must have felt. Veteran arranger Marty Parks expertly constructs multi-style songs such as Gather 'Round, Listen to the Angels Singin' and As Long As We Have Christmas to showcase the awe and wonder of the miraculous gift of baby Jesus given to us. Christmas Presence is the latest installment in the Excel Plus Series-the best-selling series designed to provide accessible arrangements while maintaining high quality 4-part harmonies.
