This celebration of the birth of the Prince of Peace addresses anew all of the aspects of the Christmas story. The narration is a mixture of scripture and introspective reflections on the Christmas season that guide listeners to examine their own hearts and lives and urge them to respond to Christ’s offer of peace. Occasional complex rhythms, 3-part divisi for the ladies, and expanded ranges in the vocal parts present some challenges, but this cantata is well within the reach of good adult choruses and would be an excellent choice for the holiday season. Approximately 40 minutes in length.
