Description

Alex Guebert’s exquisite “Redemption” beautifully portrays the scene of a Hebrew woman in exile, soothing her child with a lullaby. Unable to ignore her soul’s plea for the promised Messiah, the lullaby gives way to the strains of “O Come O Come Emmanuel”. Through the urgent cries of the people, “Rejoice! Rejoice!” resounds as a loud refrain. As the promised one arrives, another lullaby is heard. The two editions for 3 and 4-7 octaves CGB 1171 are not identical but may be played together.
