This rustic approach to the early-American tunes WARRENTON and NETTLETON will raise the joy level in your sanctuary! The original text has a sprinkling of Wesleyan lyric thrown in for good measure and comes wrapped up in a surprising choral/bluegrass jubilee. A contrasting middle section delivers a lyrical pause in the dance, but the joy soon returns as the anthem races to a decisive ending. Score and Parts (fdl, bjo, mndln, ac gtr, up b, dm) available as a digital download.

Hope Arriving offers a unique and refreshing means to easily yet powerfully usher in this special season.

Each song can be performed separately during Advent and Christmas or together as a special, 25-minute Advent worship experience. David Hamilton brings his signature of stunning arranging/orchestrations in a perfect blend from chamber to fuller instrumentations. Christy Semsen's optional narrative offers the opportunity to have church laypeople and/or families to read prior to each song. An optional devotional booklet is available separately for choir members or the entire church to enrich the experience. Songs include the breathtaking Be Born In Me (as recorded by Francesca Battistelli) along with favorite carols and two brand new songs penned by David Hamilton (Glory to God and Tiny Little Town).
