All solos may be assigned to sections of the choir if desired. All sectional passages may be assigned to soloists if desired. The narration for this program consists entirely excerpts from Matthew 1 and Luke 2, KJV. Feel free to substitute from other scriptural versions or to use a simple retelling.
Very few dynamic markings are included for the interludes, or for the final number with the congregation, as the dynamics for these passages will be determined by your acoustics, amplification, choir/congregation size, etc.
Two optional obbligatos for flute are included. These might also be performed easily on violin, or other C instrument.
