It celebrates the anticipation of Christmas the way an expectant mother joyously awaits the birth of her child — the waiting is a sacred time of reflection, preparation and hope. Present the play as a choral concert with some spoken parts or as a complete musical play with characters, costumes, a minimal set and even dance. The choral arrangements are accessible to most parishes and can be conveniently rehearsed using this CD with voice lead-ins. The audience participates by singing the recurring theme song printed in the assembly edition.
