Love is Born! draws a correlation between the Old Testament prophecies of anticipating and preparing for the promised Messiah and the New Testament fulfillment of those prophecies that still found the people of God amazed and surprised when Emmanuel did arrive. The fact that He arrived in such an unexpected manner merely enhances the mystery and wonder of Christâ??s birth. The cantata presents the four traditional themes of Advent to tell the Christmas story: Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love. The work can be presented in different segments during Advent and Christmas, or as an entire cantata with narration. From the brisk, exciting instrumental prelude to the powerful conclusion, here is a work that is as beautiful as it is unforgettable. 35 minutes.

Inspired by PIETA, Michelangelo's famous statue of Mary holding the life-less body of Jesus in her arms, this latest collaboration of Rev. Privette and Lani Smith team presents a special opportunity for worshippers to grasp the tragic depth and texture of the events of Holy Week. Once we have recalled the tragedy of Holy Week, we come to appreciate more completely the joyful message of Easter Sunday, that through the resurrection of Jesus, God is truly victorious over evil and death, and that even the sorrow and pain of a mother, who loses her first-born son, leads to joy and exultation in his new life with God. Imaginative new settings of familiar hymns and original music enhance the narrative of the final week of Jesus' life. This cantata is designated to add a new dimension of meaning and understanding to any Palm Sunday, Maudy Thursday, or Good Friday service.
