Uses: Christmas Scripture: Isaiah 9:6-7, Luke 2, John 1:1-14, Philippians 2:1-11 The angelic proclamation is celebrated with confident melodic flourishes and classic harmonies in this majestic seasonal anthem. A strong jubilant approach brings an almost classical sensibility to the piece, while solid four-part harmonies fill the air with a rich satisfying sound. The appearance of While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks is a delightful moment, and the brief performance time makes this a very effective opener.
