O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

Craig Curry's original setting of the traditional Advent text is bold and energetic, perfectly capturing all the excitement and anticipation of the Savior's coming. The driving rhythm of the piano and optional percussion sets the stage, joined quickly by the voices, first in unison and then in canon, topped off by a soaring trumpet. This impelling anthem culminates with a shout of joy, "Maranatha" -- "O Lord, come!"
