The Promise of Christmas (Musical Preview)

Written by Vince Wilcox | Jul 10, 2023 10:23:43 AM

Welcome to this quick overview of our new and exclusive Christmas work, The Promise of Christmas. Bible scholars count more than 300 specific prophecies that foretold that Jesus was, and is God’s promised Messiahmany of which were fulfilled at His first advent. This 7-song, 30+minute musical celebrates specific Christmas promises that God made and kept. 

The Promise of Christmas features original works as well as adaptations of beloved carols from Dennis Allen, Tom Fettke, Russell Mauldin, and Dave Williamson, among others. The musical concludes with a very accessible version of Handel’s "Hallelujah Chorus”…and shouldn’t every choir member sing this iconic piece at least once in their life?

Stylistically, The Promise of Christmas ranges from traditional to light contemporary and works well for blended music programs. The extensive narration gives context to the featured Christmas prophecies from the Old Testament and is written to be shared by two speakers. The narration concludes by inviting listeners to trust God’s promises. We’ve also included optional piano instrumentals that can be performed while the narrators speak.
