Publisher Desc.  The Word as One of Us was originally composed for a Lessons and Carols Service using a festive musical idiom that avoids Christmas cliches and can be performed throughout the year. The primary text is Philippians 2:5-11. Liturgical congregations would most appreciate hearing this piece during Christmas, Easter, the Ascension, and Christ the King. Non-liturgical congregations would enjoy this piece as an accompaniment to any discussion of the incarnation, humiliation, and exaltation of Christ. In a school setting, it can introduce advanced high school or university students to chant rhythm and regularly changing meters. The piece includes short sections for male or female soloist and female trio or small group. To learn more about the composer and her other works, visit marialordknivetonmusic.com. Duration: 3:00
