In this major work for the Advent and Christmas season, an original text focuses on the themes of anticipation and revelation. The author creates images of these themes in each of the texts, pointing toward the small dancing light in the manger. Three carol settings for choir with congregation are included in the work. The music is beautifully orchestrated; it may be performed with full orchestra, or an organ may be substituted for the string parts. Also included is an optional Advent devotional guide that may be used by the congregation throughout the season of Advent. Instruments needed: flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, two French horns, timpani, percussion, harp, piano, and strings or organ. 45 minutes.
