SATB/piano + 5 opt. Instruments (flute, oboe, cello, keyboard, percussion)

These pieces were originally created in 1984 for solo voice and keyboard; I rearranged them for choir and instruments in 2007 and they were premiered in that form by the Duquesne University Voices of Spirit, conducted by Christine Jordanoff.  Suitable for Advent, they trace a personal journey to experience the first Christmas. Recorded live at St. Paul’s Cathedral, Pittsburgh PA for the “O Come All Ye Faithful” Advent celebration sponsored by Duquesne University.  Included in the “Christmas at Duquesne University, Vol. II” CD, available for purchase from the Mary Pappert School of Music.  (412)396-6080
