Hope Arriving (Advent)
An Advent Worship Experience
Arranged and Orchestrated by David Hamilton; Narration by Christy Semsen; Devotionals by Dan Wilt
For centuries, believers have celebrated the season of Advent (or "coming") in anticipation of the celebration of Christ's arrival. Hope Arriving offers a unique and refreshing means to easily yet powerfully usher in this special season. Five anthems (one for each Sunday of Advent plus one for Christmas) are included, centering around the five candles/themes of Advent and Christmas. Each song can be performed separately during Advent and Christmas or together as a special, 25-minute Advent worship experience. David Hamilton brings his signature of stunning arranging/orchestrations in a perfect blend from chamber to fuller instrumentations. Christy Semsen's optional narrative offers the opportunity to have church laypeople and/or families to read prior to each song. An optional devotional booklet is available separately for choir members or the entire church to enrich the experience. Songs include the breathtaking "Be Born In Me" (as recorded by Francesca Battistelli) along with favorite carols and two brand new songs penned by David Hamilton ("Glory to God" and "Tiny Little Town"). Create an unforgettable Advent experience for your church and community with Hope Arriving.

Value Our choir previewed this work last Wednesday and it generated some excitement. I am particualrly looking forward to 'Tiny Little Town" and "Be Born in Me." This is a wonderful program that will integrate well into a full Sunday of Advent worship.

Value It gets harder every Christmas to find just the right music with just the right message, mood, and tone a director wishes to achieve. I have listened to endless musicals over the past three months and "Hope Arriving" is superb; equally as moving as Hamilton's last year's collection. I just wish it was a bit longer. I plan to use "Hope Arriving" as the anchor text for our program and add anthems and additional narration with it. The message of hope will surely be heard as we present "Hope Arriving." Lush, strong, and rich in the sound of God's word.

Value Beautiful work from David Hamilton as always! It's exciting to see Advent music presented with a contemporary touch. I plan on doing each song for each Sunday in Advent plus Christmas.
