Advent Road
DDoug Wagner has artfully melded two traditional Advent hymns (Kingsfold and Veni Emmanuel) in this arrangement that includes optional handbells or handchimes. Short sections that feature women and then men are written at the beginning of the second stanza, which then turns to full choir before coming to a calm close with the phrase "To you shall come, Emmanuel." This 55-measure choral medley is set in d minor.
