The Heart of Christmas tells the timeless story that we remember each year in a creative, profound way -- by probing the hearts of those most directly involved in St. Luke's account of that first Christmas. This touching construct is complemented by Choplin's masterful use of a variety of musical styles, from blues and bluegrass to the warmly melodic and chorally traditional. Three narrators propel the scripture-based narrative while two or three soloists and optional congregational participation enhance the choir. The result is a musical, worshipful, and very accessible Christmas presentation.
