A Christmas Ballad of Love & Joy

Composer: Pepper Choplin
Orchestrator: Larry Shackley (Orchestrator)
Format: CD
Version: Accompaniment CD to accompany choral cantata

One Silent Night long ago, a birth story began that forever changed the world. Lying in a crude manger was a new-born babe, who would become the Source of our Christian faith and our abiding hope. Using the power and simplicity of the event itself, composer and creator Pepper Choplin presents each of the familiar elements of that story through ballad-like recitatives of scripture, surrounded by anthems ranging from outbursts of unbridled joy to moving moments of introspection and gentleness. Weaving familiar carols and songs throughout original music, this timeless tale emerges in a deeply moving presentation that will lift ones faith and deepen ones understanding of the profound significance of that One Silent Night.
