A Christmas Celebration

Music by Mary McDonald, Jay Rouse, and David Wise
SATB and Piano with opt. Orchestra

"His Light had no darkness. His day had no night. He promised He would come-and so, we waited."



These powerful words by Rose Aspinall set the stage for Jay Rouse's "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel." With Jay's trademark groove and intensity, it's the perfect opener for this sweeping celebration of Christmas! Featuring music from Jay along with Mary McDonald and David Wise, these top arrangers of choral music for the church showcase familiar carols in vibrant, sometimes unexpected, ways that bring fresh life to welcome classics, including an energetic "Angels from the Realms of Glory," a theatrical, yet heartfelt setting of Wexford Carol, "A Blessed Messiah Born," and a driving, modern setting of "What Child Is This?" An orchestration is available along with various recorded accompaniment options, stems, and rehearsal aids.



This 30-minute musical, which is equally effective for concert use throughout the Christmas season, culminates with a joyous "Festival of Christmas," as Rose's thoughtful narration reminds us of what we are here to celebrate. "We celebrate the promise here and now and we celebrate the promise of His coming again! Jesus, light of the World is born for us!"
