CORE MUSIC

We are delighted to celebrate the centenary of William Lloyd Webber with this eight-book collection.Showcasing him in the light of a composer who was true to himself and who fully embraced his signature style, this is music that is romantic, melodious and - above all - heartfelt.This is also music that goes beyond the accepted conventions of his day - music whose time has come!This tuneful, straightforward and thoroughly enjoyable cantata has parts for baritone solo, chorus and organ, with three well-known hymns for the congregation. The text is taken from Scripture and other sources including Wesley, Luther and Heber. Born a King will take 20-25 minutes to perform, making it suitable for use in a service or as part of a longer Christmas concert. It will cause no learning headaches for a parish choir and will give much pleasure.Contents PART IBlessed is he that comethCome, thou long expected JesusHark the glad soundPART IIOf the Father's love begottenMy heart for very joy doth leapOnce in royal Devid's cityPART IIIO come, let us worship homeBehold, there came wise menBrightest and best of the sons of the morningAs with gladness men of old
