Advent I new music

What a musical feast today! Carol Horning did a magnificent job leading the congregation singing Sleepers Awake; O Come, O Come, Emmanuel; and Come Thou Long-Expected Jesus. The organ backed them up with moderate settings. The offertory was an arrangement I made of O Savior Rend the Heavens Wide, for flute, oboe and trumpet accompanied by organ. Julia Nolt played flute, Caitlin Landis, oboe, and Doug Brubaker, trumpet. My major prelude piece was also Sleepers Awake, the well-known Wachet Auf of J. S. Bach. I also improvised on The Angel Gabriel from the spiral hymnal.
