By Heaven's Light: a Christmas Cantata

This adult Christmas cantata comes from the writing team of Tom Long and Allen Pote. Traditional carols, original music, lyrics, and scripture from the gospels of Luke and Matthew are all used to tell the Christmas story. Options are provided for using candles and "actor tableaux" to embellish the performance. The performance time of 25 minutes makes this ideal for use as part of the worship service. The orchestration is by Joel Raney, which includes a Conductor's Score as well as Percussion (windchimes, chime, suspended cymbal, orchestra bells, timpani, snare drum, tambourine, triangle, bell tree), Flute, Oboe, Trumpet in B-flat, Horn in F, Cello, and Electric Bass
