(Harold Flammer Christmas). From the composer of Festival of Carols and
The Winter Rose comes a cantata that celebrates the legacy of early
American carols and hymnody. Composed in the spirit of folk music, the
cantata combines traditional sounds with more rustic elements creating a
blend that is fresh and pleasing. Popular American carols like Away In a
Manger and O Little Town of Bethlehem dance with traditional spirituals
such as Children, Go Where I Send Thee and Go, Tell It on the Mountain.
Sacred Harp tunes are re-tooled for Advent and stand alongside new
versions of Shaker hymns and Appalachian melodies. Thoughtful narration
weaves the movements together in a meaningful tapestry of song and
Scripture. Two orchestral options are available allowing maximum
flexibility in performance. A full line of support products is also
