From our newly named Excel Series, this accessibly arranged and orchestrated narrated musical is perfect for any sized choir. Running time for the complete work is approximately 38 minutes.Featuring Steven Curtis Chapman's evocative The Night Before Christmas," the hauntingly beautiful solo feature "Born Where the Shadows Lie" and the exuberant and creative styling of both "Jesus, Oh What a Wonderful Child" and "Soon and Very Soon," The Promised Hope is simply bursting with good tidings of great joy.
