Clever and effective, this combination of two well-known hymns (MORNING SONG and VENI, VENI EMMANUEL) will fit thematically into almost any Advent celebration. The reharmonization of the hymn tunes in this arrangement, scored for SATB chorus and keyboard, is often striking and surprising and will certainly add new life to these venerable hymn tunes. Although not necessarily intended for assembly participation, the congregation will nevertheless follow the lyrical content through their familiarity with these well-known hymn tunes and texts.
