New Christmas music: Season of Light
Another Christmas post.
Season of Light is a new Christmas musical from Majesty Music that I helped put together. It is my first endeavor with them with Christmas music. The focus of the musical is Christ, the Light of the world. In the drama,
Mary and Joseph both have individual responses to this light and is contrasted with the wicked king Herod.
My favorite part of this program is at the end. It ends uniquely– not a seasonal song or medley– but with a wonderfully haunting, minor tune set to “The Light of the World is Jesus.” The recording for this piece turned out especially well. Listen below.
Come to the light, ’tis shining for thee;
Sweetly the light has dawned upon me.
Once I was blind, but now I see:
The Light of the world is Jesus!
The Light of the world is Jesus!
Once finished, the choir and congregation join as one simply singing Silent Night, Holy Night by candlelight.
