A Child Will Lead Them (Complete Cantata)

A Child Will Lead Them (Complete Cantata)*
"A Child Will lead Them" is a 40-minute Christmas Cantata by Ishtar, for SATB chorus, Soprano, Alto and Tenor soloists, two instrumental obbligatos, piano, optional percussion and two narrators.

In addition to choral selections, the 13-movement work includes vocal solos, instrumental ensemble numbers, and transition/modulation/narration sections after each movement. Some of the choral passages are repeated, so the music for the choir to learn is about 16 pages. There are several choices of instruments for each of the two obbligato parts. This allows a church to use its resources to present an impressive, moving Christmas program.

Several of the cantata's movements are available as individual selections. Most of these pieces can be used for any season, and several are appropriate for Easter. To access the sheet music and audio of these versatile selections, click on "Individual Movements."
