120. O Come, O Come Emmnauel!

This score brings together two classic hymns that define the solemn anticipation of the Advent season. The first, "O Come, O Come Emmanuel," captures the deep longing of a people waiting for their Savior, crying out from exile. It is a staple in Catholic parishes during the weeks leading up to Christmas, setting a tone of reverence and hope as the congregation prepares for the Nativity.

The second piece, "The Coming Of Our God," shifts the focus slightly, urging the faithful to actively prepare their hearts. It reminds singers that Christ took on a servant's form to set his people free, calling us to meet him on the road with songs of holy joy. Together, these pieces provide a perfect choral foundation for December liturgies.

In the choir loft, these hymns are often sung as entrance or recessional pieces. The familiar solfa notation allows choristers to easily pick up the harmonies, blending their voices to announce the approaching dawn of Christ's birth and the promise of salvation.
