Christmas hymn With suspended bells quietly calling, O Come, O Come, Emmanuel, the scene is set for the urgency and excitement that is to follow - proclaim the good news that He Is Born! The faster tempo, minor backdrop and tabled mallet accompaniment drive the piece forward with the urgent message of the Christ Child's birth. The contrasting middle section offers a warmer, more thoughtful statement that includes lingering LV passages and optional handchimes. The piece closes by reprising the spirited section and is capped off with a celebratory fanfare in major tonalities.

WATCH FOR A MESSAGE FROM ARRANGER MARTY HAMBY

COME AND SEE, GO AND TELL,from Word Music & Church Resources’ Simply Word Series, is an SATB musical with rich, full orchestrations and accessible vocal charts (challenging enough to be musically satisfying, yet easy enough to be appreciated!), designed to make your choir sound bigger than life without having to learn and sing overly difficult part-writing.

From the opening strains of “Rejoice” (the song popularized by Aaron Shust) and original songs by Lee Black and Jason Cox, arranged and orchestrated by Marty Hamby, COME AND SEE, GO AND TELL warmly and richly unveils the story of Christmas as it leads the listener to an invitation: an invitation to come and see…to come and behold...to come and know; know that this is your King, born to bring light and salvation to a people lost in darkness. And as the invitation turns into the revelation that this truly is Christ the King, we have no recourse but to bow and worship Him. And once we have seen, once we have worshipped Him at the manger, we can do nothing else but go and tell the Good News: the Savior is born!

Full Score and Parts plus CD with Printable Parts for Go Sing It on the Mountain - 65/2073L The birth of Jesus is a scene of awe-inspiring humility: God in human form, born in a lowly manger for our salvation. Pepper Choplin's distinctive, folk-infused musical style is particularly well-suited to capture this story. Employing a highly-inventive mixture of mountain melodies, folk hymns, spirituals, familiar carols, and original music that is sure to surprise and delight, Go Sing It on the Mountain proclaims the good news from the prophet Isaiah's proclamation, Comfort, O comfort my people, to the final exuberant celebration: Joy to the World! Christ is born! Solos, Duets, and Trios shine the spotlight on featured singers and nicely complement the SATB choruses.
