From the composer of “Festival of Carols” and “The Winter Rose” comes a cantata that celebrates the legacy of early American carols and hymnody. Composed in the spirit of folk music, the cantata combines traditional sounds with more rustic elements creating a blend that is fresh and pleasing. Popular American carols like “Away In a Manger” and “O Little Town of Bethlehem” dance with traditional spirituals such as “Children, Go Where I Send Thee” and “Go, Tell It on the Mountain.” Sacred Harp tunes are re-tooled for Advent and stand alongside new versions of Shaker hymns and Appalachian melodies. Thoughtful narration weaves the movements together in a meaningful tapestry of song and Scripture. Two orchestral options are available allowing maximum flexibility in performance.
