July-August are the months I finalize my decision on Christmas cantata...and I've been wrestling with this decision [again] this year...I've been reading, listening, pondering, praying and cannot settle on any new work...I've thought I might just do Majesty Music's "Then Jesus Came" [never done it before], but I'm open to suggestions of other works, but need one with a strong salvation drama...has anyone done Pepper Choplin's "Once Upon a Night"? Curious as to the details as they are limited on Shawnee Press/GlorySound's web-site...
Best wishes for a blessed summer,
Troy Self
Troy,
ReplyDeleteI just got the CD for Soundforth's new Christmas program by James Koerts titled "1777" drama by Rick Nichols. I am listening to it as I type. Have you heard it? It is set in Colonial America. The first song is really nice so far!
We've done a piece or two from "Once Upon a Night" and I think Kurt did at least a good bit of it here several years ago. It has some really nice things in it.
I'm sure you
