Please join us on December 15th
at our 11 a.m. worship
service for our “Season of Joy” concert combining the passion of Celtic musical traditions
and the joyous celebration of Christ's birth.
“Season of Joy” offers a spectacular collection of new and beloved seasonal songs
performed by instrumentalists from our congregation as well as members of the Rose
Tree Pops Orchestra. Acclaimed arranger/orchestrator Daniel Semsen has
brilliantly married traditional Celtic instrumentation
with a vibrant contemporary sound, featuring four new songs by Keith and
Kristyn Getty.
This one-of-a-kind
musical combines such Irish classics
as "The Wexford Carol" with exciting new Celtic-inspired arrangements
of Chris Tomlin's "Emmanuel (Hallowed Manger Ground)" and Travis
Cottrell's "Jesus Saves." A standout offering is the stunning
overture, which features fiddles, penny whistles and bagpipes. No less than one dozen familiar carols
artfully weave their way through the work, inviting the congregation to fully
join the celebration. For directions and further information,
visit www.marplepres.org or call the
church office at 610-356-1098.
