New instrumental songs for Advent and Christmas from Kevin Keil


Music in Divine Worship

 

Announcing Winter Birth from Catholic composer Kevin Keil! In this new instrumental collection for Advent and Christmas, Keil has skillfully arranged six seasonal hymns. The arrangements draw upon cherished traditional tunes such as “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” (VENI EMMANUEL) and “Creator of the Stars of Night” (CONDITOR ALME SIDERUM), as well as latter-day classics like “Hail Mary: Gentle Woman” and the “Carol of the Bells.”

This collection is a must-have seasonal resource for liturgical pianists and instrumentalists, providing wonderful options for instrumental moments during the prelude, Presentation and Preparation of the Gifts, post-Communion meditation, postlude and more. It continues the work of his previous instrumental Advent and Christmas collection, See Amid the Winter’s Snow, and serves as a companion to his The Glory of These Forty Days, which features instrumental arrangements for Lenten hymns, and The King of Love, which features traditional hymns for more general use.
