O Come, Emmanuel - Alan Bullard

for SATB (with optional solos) and organ or piano or small orchestra or chamber group O Come, Emmanuel is an Advent Celebration, suitable for both church and concert choirs. It is based on the seven Great 'O' Antiphons, and fragments of the well-known plainsong hymn permeate the work. A number of the movements make highly effective separate pieces and anthems. Prelude; Advent Responsory (i); Hymn: The advent of our God; O Wisdom; Where shall Wisdom be found?; O Lord of Lord; Come, thou long-expected Jesus; O Root of Jesse; There is a rose-tree; O Key of David; Earth grown old; Hymn: Thy kingdom come! on bended knee; O Morning Star; Chanticleer; O King of the Nations; Hymn: Joy to the world!; And they shall call his name Emmanuel; O Emmanuel; Gabriel's Message; And art thou come with us to dwell?; Advent Responsory (ii); Hymn: Lo! he comes with clouds descending
