About this arrangement

Choral SATB Choir and Piano SKU: CF.CM9619 Composed by Kyle Pederson. Fold. Jbc. 8 pages. Duration 3 minutes, 48 seconds. Carl Fischer Music #CM9619. Published by Carl Fischer Music (CF.CM9619). ISBN 9781491156704. UPC: 680160915248. 6.875 x 10.5 inches. Key: F major. English. Original.The text of the piece was inspired by a conviction that the deepest meanings of Advent/Christmas are alive and meaningful throughout the year. At the heart, the text is a prayer. Musically, the piece affords a great opportunity for each voice section to take turns sharing the melody. Though mostly homophonic, a countermelody is introduced first by the piano, and then reappears in the alto line midway through the piece, providing a nice contrast both texturally and lyrically. The piece builds to a dramatic climax in the final verse, and then scales back down for a contemplative finish. This piece works especially well in the season of Advent and Christmas, though it's themes resonate and would be appropriate throughout the church liturgical year.
