Evening in December, An (Orchestration)

How can we adequately tell the story of our transcendent God becoming a human being…becoming the poorest of the poor and the weakest of the weak…in order to give us His boundless, everlasting life? How can we celebrate such an event? The story should be retold both with time-honored tradition and with the newness of here and now. It should be celebrated with unbridled joy and with deep, quiet reflection. It should be sung with great power and with heartfelt tenderness and exalt our magnificent God with boldness and with childlike humility. Such a retelling, such a celebration is our prayer for An Evening in December. May it give you a new glimpse of Emmanuel, God with Us, and fill your heart with a new song of thankfulness and praise.
