Suitable for concert or worship (esp. All Saints) 1111; 2221; timp, perc, hp, cel; stgs Duration: 30'15 Text: adapted from the New Testament by Jane Griner Published by: Dunstan House Also available for sale: Two churches, one Presbyterian, one Methodist, located in two adjacent states, wanted to commission a major work for chorus and orchestra to use in a memorial service held annually near the feast of All Saints, but felt that, considering the costs involved in hiring an orchestra for the performance, they couldn’t also afford the commissioning fee which an extended work would necessitate. Composer Daniel E. Gawthrop put the two directors in touch with each other, and a joint commission was conceived. Originally, the plan called for two completely separate premières, one at each church, but as the directors consulted on musical matters they decided that it would add an element of ecumenism and outreach to the project if they joined the two choirs together for both performances. Accordingly, on the first of the two Sundays the South Carolina Presbyterians joined the North Carolina Methodists in their Sunday morning services to sing the première of Behold This Mystery. On the following Sunday the travel was reversed for the second première. The involved choirs, congregations, clergy and directors all declared the project a triumph. Further performances followed, and the piece has now earned a place in the small but distinguished category called Twentieth Century Extended Works for Chorus and Orchestra Which Have Received More Than One Performance. Behold This Mystery is suitable anywhere that you might program a requiem, e.g., either in concert or within the context of a worship service. It lasts about 27 minutes in performance. Soprano and Baritone soloists are called for, although a Tenor may be substituted for the (rather high) Baritone part if needed. The choral parts are not terribly difficult but this is an extended work, probably equivalent to five or six typical anthems. Instrumental parts are not virtuosic; collegiate and professional ensembles should have no trouble preparing the piece with only a few rehearsals. Minimum order quantity: 8 copies. Perusal copies are available by contacting office@DunstanHouse.com (include the organization name with your request). To order quantities fewer than 8.

The story of faith is often reflected as a journey from darkness to light. The Old Testament speaks of Israel living in bondage and darkness, awaiting the light of the promised Messiah, and His coming is punctuated by light every step of the way: a bright angelic host proclaiming the news to Judean shepherds keeping watch over their flocks; a shining star inviting Magi from afar to the young Christ-child in an act of worship and praise. The book of John refers to Jesus as the light of all people (Jn 1:4). Jesus even referred to Himself as the light of the world (Jn 8:12). It is this imagery of light that provides the unifying thread for Behold the Star! This extended work for choir, narrators, and congregation is a blend of original and familiar carols. It may be performed in a single worship experience or in smaller segments over the weeks leading to Christmas. Behold the Star! is an inspirational reminder that Jesus, the light of the world, has indeed come!

Chris tmas is the glory of God revealed to the whole universe using the simplest of means: a young couple, a manger, and onlookers ranging from barn animals and local shepherds to magi from the East. And, of course, a newborn child, the Son of God, Emmanuel. It is the story of a child of promise, a child of love, magnificent in its simplicity, and powerful in its message of salvation. So it is with Behold the Glory! With four narrators guiding the story, Stan Pethel captures both the understated innocence of the moment and the awesomeness of the glory of Christmas in music. Ranging from a serene and touching lullaby to a bursting forth of joy, this wholly original work truly celebrates the season and God's gift of love to us all. Performance time: approximately 35 minutes.
