Opening with the traditional chant of "O Come O Come Emmanuel" this anthem quickly moves to a rhythmic, driving arrangement of the tune "Veni Emmanuel." The vibrancy of the rhythm patterns in the acco mpaniment and syncopations in melody will have choir members moving to the beat. A fresh new approach to the familiar, this anthem works equally well with youth and adult choirs. Ideal for Advent I-IV as part of an Advent lesson and carol service.
