The Voices of Christmas

The Akron-Fairgrove Community Singers are presenting this cantata this year. The discription grabed me as being appropriate for this weeks readings.

Using beloved carols and new anthems especially composed for this cantata, the
story of Christmas unfolds through the "voices" of witnesses (heard in the
narration) and is echoed in the voices of the choir as they sing the Good News
of the Savior’s birth. The music will eloquently convey the message that Christ
was born to everyone (past, present and future), and so we are all, in some
sense, connected to the manger; we are all witnesses to, and voices of, the Good
News of His birth.

From Isaiah to Mary, to the Psalmist, to the Baptist individual voices intone the good news. Paul spurs us to do the same. Sing singers with me.
