“But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.” (James 3:17-18)
December 14th 2008 - Christmas Cantata "Touched by a Child, Touched by a King" - John Purify
Touched by a Child, Touched by a King
A Christmas cantata for choir and narrator
Composers: John Purifoy (Composer), Niel Lorenz (Author)
Being touched in a life-changing way by the Christ Child is the theme of this unique cantata which follows the experience of Mary and Joseph, the shepherds, the wise men, and finally all those who believe today-all touched by a child, touched by a king. Thoughtful narrations, new music and new Christmas texts, combined with a touch of the familiar in the congregational carol, O Come, All Ye Faithful and a joyful new setting of In Dulci Jubilo, make this an exciting Christmas experience for choir and congregation alike.
