The triumphant opening “Prepare the Way of the Lord” sets the tone for this joyous and celebratory Christmas cantata. A children’s choir is featured in two sections, bringing innocence and simplicity to the telling of the story. It displays some of Harlan’s best writing and truly a signature work. Songs include: “Prepare the Way of the Lord,” “My Soul Magnifies the Lord,” “A Child This Day,” “Hush My Babe Lie Still and Slumber,” “O Sing a Song of Bethlehem,” “The Wise May Bring Their Learning,” and “O Come All Ye Faithful.”
