Season of Joy

Combining the passion of Celtic musical traditions and the joyous celebration of Christ's birth, Season of Joy offers a spectacular collection of new and beloved seasonal songs that will perfectly complement any Christmas program. Acclaimed arranger and orchestrator Daniel Semsen has brilliantly married traditional Celtic instrumentation with a vibrant contemporary sound. Featuring four new songs by Keith and Kristyn Getty, Chris Tomlin, Travis Cottrell and more, this is a one-of-a-kind worship experience for Christmas!

Two optional narrations, a sequence of dramatic readings and production notes by Deborah Craig-Claar are also provided, allowing you to customize the work to your presentation needs.
