Driving energy and rhythmic excitement as the shepherds rush to the stable running and dancing all the way! “Awake! Sing Gloria!” from the cantata Canticle of Joy is alive with electricity and an urgency tosee the newborn King. “Sleepers awake! Sing gloria!” What a sight that must have been! Perhaps it is hard for us to visualize that incredible scene but we can certainly hear it in this outstanding choral!

From the opening bell tones in the piano, this anthem awakens the worshipping church to praise. Incorporating the early-American hymn tune PISGAH, this original piece celebrates the sacred call of music in proclaiming the joy of the Lord. The folklike character in the substance of the music is displayed in the melodic contours and rustic harmonic vocabulary. This is the day for singing and for sending alleluias soaring!

Canticles in Candlelight is a musical service of illumination that gradually fills the sanctuary or concert hall with music and light. With Scripture, narration, carols and candles, this compelling cantata tells the treasured story of Christ's birth. Filled with variety yet rooted in a traditional music vernacular, there are tasteful classical references in the arrangements as well as opportunities for congregational singing. From the hushed whisper of the “Candlelight Processional” to the festive arrangements of some of our most beloved carols, this work has something for everyone. An optional quiet ending is offered for churches wanting a more devotional closing.Includes: Prologue; Processional; Prepare and Celebrate; Advent Longing; Come, Long-Expected Jesus; Awake! Arise!
