CGA973 Will You Be Ready?
Description
This anthem, from the highly acclaimed musical, Light of the World (CGC47), begins with the words of prophecy from Isaiah and then asks, 'Will you be ready for the Light'' The optional second part is easy to sing and choristers will enjoy the syncopated rhythms that propel the anthem forward. A good piece for teaching dynamic contrasts, the text will challenge both singers and congregation to think about the coming of Christ during the often-hurried Advent season.
Voicing: Unison/Two-part with piano
Composer: Mark Patterson
Text: Mark Patterson
