Description:

This delightful trilogy of pieces is written for use during the Christmas season. The pieces may be performed individually or as a short mini-presentation incorporating a brief drama sketch between the songs. Titles include: 1. 'Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus' (Advent) – the traditional text set to a spirited new tune in a minor key. 2. 'He Is Born' and 'Sing Noel' (Christmas) – a medley of these two favorites with many options to interest the child and listener including the traditional French lyrics. 3. 'Following the Star' (Epiphany) – original text and music combine for a lovely musical telling of the Wise Men's story.
