The Lord Is Coming Soon

This Advent piece has musical motifs from J.S. Bach’s “Sleepers Awake” from Cantata 140 beautifully and subtly incorporated into the accompaniment and solo instrument parts for what is otherwise a completely original melody. Scored for SATB choir, keyboard, guitar, and solo instrument in C, it projects a sense of joy as we wait for the coming of Jesus. Assemblies will be drawn in by the air of familiarity while appreciating the new melodies for the refrain and verses.
