This one-of-a-kind musical combines such Irish classics as The Wexford Carol with exciting new Celtic-inspired arrangements of Chris Tomlin's Emmanuel (Hallowed Manger Ground) and Travis Cottrell's Jesus Saves. A standout offering is the stunning overture, which features fiddles, penny whistles and bagpipes. No less than one dozen familiar carols artfully weave their way through the work, inviting your congregation to fully join the celebration. Two optional narrations, a sequence of dramatic readings and production notes by Deborah Craig-Claar have also been provided, allowing you to customize the work.
