Oboe arrangement of Victor C. Johnson's SSA setting of Coventry Carol.
With the holidays so often being spoken of as a time of joy and celebrating, it feels like there is often no place for scars and sorrow. This song was frequently on my mind last Christmas, while praying for Aleppo and wading through postpartum depression, and it has been a good reminder to me that in Christmas God joined our suffering, carried our sorrows, and bore our grief.

ReplyDeleteAmazingly beautiful sounds!! I never knew oboe could sound so pure and sweet. The juxtaposition of the exquisite sounds and the message of the incomparable suffering of our Savior Jesus Christ made it an especially stunning piece for this Christmas season. Thank you, Kyleigh and James.
