Like Winter Waiting - CD
$16.95
OCP:11159
Like Winter Waiting is a thought-provoking musical play that tells the Advent story with humor, poignancy and joy. It celebrates the anticipation of Christmas the way an expectant mother joyously awaits the birth of her child—the waiting is a sacred time of reflection, preparation and hope. Present the play as a choral concert with some spoken parts, or as a complete musical play with characters, costumes, a minimal set and even dance. The choral arrangements are accessible to most parishes and can be conveniently rehearsed using the cassette or CD with voice lead-ins. The audience participates by singing the recurring theme song printed in the assembly edition. Contents: Annunciations; The Heart Of The World; Like Winter Waiting; Oh, The Times; O Mary, Tell Us; The Promise Of The Lord; Soon The Beginning; Stars; Summer Of Flowers; Unless You Lead Me On; We Have Searched; Who Is This Woman.

Maranatha - CD
$16.95
OCP:11924
by Gerard Chiusano. It's a dilemma pastors and pastoral musicians face every December: How can we draw the faithful into the spiritual riches of Advent at a time when the world around us is caught up in a frenzied preparation for Christmas gift-giving? Jerry Chiusano's latest collection is a well-crafted and much-needed answer to this challenge -- and an important addition to the repertoire for Advent.

Maranatha -- Aramaic for "Our Lord, come!" -- offers music and texts that evoke the fullness of the Advent spirit, bringing together the joyful anticipation of Christ's birth in Bethlehem and the joyful hope with which we await his return in glory.

The collection features a variety of music for the liturgy, including SATB a cappella introits, choral anthems, ballads, gospel-rock songs and psalm settings. Jerry has taken some of the most beautiful, familiar Advent hymn texts and set them to upbeat, contemporary music, giving this ancient poetry new life. Other texts have been drawn from the Scripture readings for Sundays in Advent.

Lead your assembly into the joyful expectation and stillness of Advent with Maranatha! Available in Compact Disc only.
