From the expectant hope of Advent to the joyous celebration of Christmas and the revelation of Christ at Epiphany, the opening seasons of the church year are rich with meaning. In this collection, David Lasky offers organ settings of hymns and carols associated with these seasons—plus a selection suitable for New Year’s Eve or Day—that can serve as preludes, offertories, and postludes.
