This Christmas musical is an inspiring celebration of God's gift of eternal light! Traditional Christmas carols are masterfully blended with original music to tell the timeless story of the birth of Christ, the light of the world. An entirely unique feature of this musical is the optional 4-hand piano score, which adds tremendous energy and fullness to the sound. Beyond that, the sparkle of a simple handbell part plus a variety of percussion instruments and a synth keyboard (to supply lush string sounds) gives this work a pulsating world-music flavor. There is a scripture-based narration throughout and simple performance suggestions for using candles in a dramatic fashion to enhance the presentation. Titles include: The Promise of Light; Lift Up Your Eyes; O Little Town of Bethlehem; While Shepherds Watched; Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming; Comfort and Joy; The Light of Christmas and Hark! The Herald Angels Sing! 45 minutes.
