On Sunday, December 18, the choir at Grace presents three carol settings at the 11 am service. This composition, entitled “A Star in the East,” was written by the brilliant Gwyneth Walker (b. 1947). She wrote this work in the winter of 2020, among all the challenges Covid-19 presented to churches, musicians, and the world. This work incorporates organ, brass, and percussion to accompany the singers. I am very excited to have Kelsey Wise on the organ, members from Intrepid Brass, and Bryce Mulkey on percussion work with the Grace Chancel Choir on this project.
The three carol settings include:
- “Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella” is a traditional French carol.
- “In the Bleak Midwinter” is a text by Christina Rossetti.
- “Rise Up, Shepherd, and Follow” is a traditional African American Spiritual.
We would love to see you on December 18, when we will share this energetic and melodic work with you!
Blessings,
Tyler Morris
